What is the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR format from the AD nTSecurityDescriptor attribute?

I want to manipulate a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR from AD via the
nTSecurityDescriptor attribute.

However, looking at the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR format in winnt.h, I see
that this structure is heavily dependent on pointers.

I'm assuming there cannot be pointers in the serialized/marshalled
nTSecurityDescriptor octet sequence. So I need to know the marshalled
format.

Anyone have any suggestions on where I might find this information?

Thanks in advance,
