Guys,

I have a buffer buf. It's defined as const void* buf (In the param of a
function).

BOOL Write(const void* buf, ULONG nBytes, ULONG* pBytesWritten = NULL)
{

}

How can I access this variable data.

Is it by capturing it in const char* or something else.

Shyam

Depends on whether you are coding C or C++


 BOOL Write(const void* buf, ULONG nBytes, ULONG* pBytesWritten = NULL)
 {

        const char   *ptr = ( const char * ) buf;        // Should work for
C and C++
        const char   *ptr = static_cast < const char * > ( buf );    //
Should work for C++

 }

 How can I access this variable data.
