Syntax

DWORD GetTempPath( DWORD nBufferLength, LPSTR lpBuffer )

Parameters

nBufferLength: [input]Specifies the size, in TCHARs, of the string buffer identified by lpBuffer.
lpBuffer: [output]Pointer to a string buffer that receives the null-terminated string specifying; the temporary file path. The returned string ends with a backslash, for example, C:\TEMP\.
