private static extern String GetCommandLine();

C# Signature2:

None.

Tips & Tricks:

Use this API function when you need access to raw command line string and not already parsed arguments in Main(string[] args)

If you use the signature1, P/Invoke marshaller will deallocate the returned string;

If you use the signature2, P/Invoke marshaller will NOT deallocate the returned string

Sample Code:

string commandLine = GetCommandLine();

or

System.IntPtr ptr = GetCommandLine();

string commandLine = Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(ptr);
