REMOTE_NAME_INFOA structure (winnetwk.h)

  • Article

The REMOTE_NAME_INFO structure contains information about the remote form of a universal name. It is used by the NPGetUniversalName function.

Syntax

typedef struct _REMOTE_NAME_INFOA {
  LPSTR lpUniversalName;
  LPSTR lpConnectionName;
  LPSTR lpRemainingPath;
} REMOTE_NAME_INFOA, *LPREMOTE_NAME_INFOA;

Members

lpUniversalName

Pointer to the universal name if the provider supports universal names. Otherwise, this points to NULL.

lpConnectionName

Pointer to a string containing the remote name used to make the connection. This string does not have a trailing backslash.

lpRemainingPath

Pointer to the remaining path that must to be concatenated to a drive letter after a connection is established by means of lpConnectionName, to refer to the object specified during the call to NPGetUniversalName. This string has a backslash at the start of the path.

Remarks

Note

The winnetwk.h header defines REMOTE_NAME_INFO as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
