The link example does not address the function I need.  This is common in 
Microsoft documentation.  They try to use a one-size-fits-all plan for 
examples.

In the link they  provide they do a good job giving examples for other 
functions like GetSidIdentifierAuthority(), GetSidSubAuthority(), etc but 
none for ConvertStringSidToSid().

Well, that is the wrong definition, and the wrong link
That is the correct parameter list and ilnk for ConvertSidToStringSid

BOOL ConvertStringSidToSid( LPCTSTR StringSid, PSID* Sid );

	char * StringSid = "Whatever the string sid looks like";
	SID* Sid;
	if( ConvertStringSidToSid( StringSid, &Sid ) )
	{	// use *Sid
		char * StringSid2;
		if( ConvertSidToStringSid( Sid,  &StringSid2 ) )
		{	// display StyringSid2
			LocalFree( StringSid2 );
		};
		LocalFree( *Sid );
	};
