NAME_BUFFER structure (nb30.h)

[Netbios is not supported on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and subsequent versions of the operating system]

The NAME_BUFFER structure contains information about a local network name. One or more NAME_BUFFER structures follows an ADAPTER_STATUS structure when an application specifies the NCBASTAT command in the ncb_command member of the NCB structure.

Syntax

typedef struct _NAME_BUFFER {
  UCHAR name[NCBNAMSZ];
  UCHAR name_num;
  UCHAR name_flags;
} NAME_BUFFER, *PNAME_BUFFER;

Members
