UrlGetLocationA function (shlwapi.h)
Retrieves the location from a URL.
Syntax
LPCSTR UrlGetLocationA(
[in] PCSTR pszURL
);
Parameters
[in] pszURL
Type: PCTSTR
A null-terminated string of maximum length INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH that contains the location.
Return value

Remarks
The location is the segment of the URL starting with a ? or # character. If a file URL has a query string, the returned string includes the query string.
Note
The shlwapi.h header defines UrlGetLocation as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
