GetComputerName
The GetComputerName
function retrieves the computer name of the current system. This name is
established at system startup, when it is initialized from the registry.
BOOL GetComputerName(
|
LPTSTR lpBuffer, |
// address of name
buffer |
|
LPDWORD nSize |
// address of size
of name buffer |
|
); |
|
Parameters
lpBuffer
Points to a
buffer to receive the null-terminated character string containing the computer
name.
nSize
Points to a
variable that specifies the maximum size, in characters, of the buffer. This
value should be large enough to contain MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH + 1 characters.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is nonzero and the variable represented by
the nSize parameter contains the number of characters copied to the
destination buffer, not including the terminating null character.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information,
call GetLastError.
