The [ACCESS_MASK] data type is a double word value that defines standard, specific, and generic rights. These rights are used in access control entries (ACEs) and are the primary means of specifying the requested or granted access to an object.

The [SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES] structure contains the security descriptor for an object and specifies whether the handle retrieved by specifying this structure is inheritable. This structure provides security settings for objects created by various functions, such as Kernel32.CreateFile, Kernel32.CreatePipe, Kernel32.CreateProcess, or Advapi32.RegCreateKeyEx.
