Didn’t think so. I can’t recommend to folks to use a function that
undocumented where the documented function is just as easy to use.

Is RtlCreateUnicodeStringFromAsciiz doc’ed in the WDK? It certainly is
not doc’ed in the currently released DDK.

Here’s a little improvement:
PCHAR StringPointer = “USA”;
UNICODE_STRING UnicodeString;
NTSTATUS Status;
Status = RtlCreateUnicodeStringFromAsciiz(&UnicodeString,
StringPointer);
if (NT_SUCCESS(Status))
{
RtlFreeUnicodeString(&UnicodeString);
}
