that’s what I’m doing already, the issue is that unsafe code exists at all.

In order to call the win32 API one must create structs and pass pointers to them into the function call.

sending data is actually quite easy. But reading back data is quite difficult, in some cases you may have a list of something.

Regardless, Rust is not helping me anymore in those bits, and since all of the tools that find memory issues target primarily C++, and rust mangles certain things for C+ + toolchains - I find myself a little bit stuck, I’m not a genius and I’ll take all the help I can get.

The Win32 API's object model is (mostly) compatible with Rust's. Handles play well with OBRM. Does the winsafe crate provide the interfaces you need? https://docs.rs/winsafe/

if it does, I can’t find it.

I was looking for NetUserAdd and associated commands.
