ICE_GenerateRFC972password

Description:

Generates one RFC972-compliant password of 8 characters, plus CRLF (totalling 10 characters), and stores it in "dest."
 

Syntax for C:

void *ICE_GenerateRFC972password (
  char *dest
);
 

Syntax for Assembly:

Call ICE_GenerateRFC972password C, offset dest
 

Parameters:

dest

(IN/OUT) 32-bit pointer to 10 bytes of memory for storing the password, if set to 0 then memory will be allocated automatically using malloc().
 

Returns:

Pointer to buffer (created by malloc()) that holds the string, if not 0

0 = Failed to allocate memory

Remarks:

The resulting string will always have an 8-character password, followed by two more bytes for CRLF (DOS-style line-termination characters).

Remember to use NetWare's free() function when you no longer need the array if you initially passed 0 for the "dest" parameter.
