kmode string-to-guid function?

NTDEV
1

Does anyone have a routine to convert a string to GUID in kernel mode
that they’d like to share? Is there one I’m overlooking in the DDK?

(in user-mode we simply use the RPC UuidFromString() function).

I hate strings.

Thanks in advance -

There is RtlGUIDFromString:

NTSTATUS RtlGUIDFromString(
IN PUNICODE_STRING GuidString,
OUT GUID *Guid );

This should do the trick

NTSTATUS
RtlGUIDFromString(
PUNICODE_STRING GuidString,
OUT GUID* Guid
);

(this is a passive level only API)
