shell.StringAsFILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR

[dict, ...] = StringAsFILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR(buf, make_unicode )

Decodes a FILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR packed in a string

Parameters

buf : buffer

A string packed as either FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW or FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW

make_unicode=-1 : bool

Should this be treated as a FILEDESCRIPTORW? If -1 the size of the buffer will be used to make that determination. Thus, if the buffer is not the exact size of a correct FILEDESCRIPTORW or FILEDESCRIPTORA, you will need to specify this parameter.
