cbSize

Must contain the size of the structure: sizeof(JEWCALGETHOLIDAYINFO)

lpGregorianDate

If it is not NULL, it must point to a JEWCALDATE structure which specifies the Gregorian date for which the Jewish holiday must be determined.
If it is NULL, the current date is used.

fDiaspora

If it is TRUE, calculation for Diaspora is used.
If it is FALSE, calculation for Israel is used.

fPostponeShushanPurim

If it is TRUE and when the 15th of Adar in a non-leap year or the 15th of Adar II in a leap year falls on a Saturday, Shushan Purim is postponed to Sunday.
If it is FALSE, Shushan Purim is always calculated on the 15th of Adar in a non-leap year or the 15th of Adar II in a leap year.

lpString

Must point to a string buffer which will contain the name of the Jewish holiday after execution of this function. If no Jewish holiday falls on the given Gregorian date, an empty string is returned.

cbMax

Must contain the size of the buffer lpString in characters.
