#include <rpc.h>

RPC_STATUS RPC_ENTRY RpcNsEntryExpandName(

Parameters

EntryNameSyntax

Specifies an integer value that indicates the syntax of the next argument, EntryName.

To use the syntax specified in the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\NameService\
DefaultSyntax, provide a value of RPC_C_NS_SYNTAX_DEFAULT.

EntryName

Points to the entry name to expand.

ExpandedName

Returns a pointer to a pointer to the expanded version of EntryName.

Remarks

Note  This DCE function is not supported by the Microsoft Locator version 1.0.

An application calls the RpcNsEntryExpandName routine to obtain a fully expanded entry name.

The RPC run-time library allocates memory for the returned ExpandedName argument. The application is responsible for calling the RpcStringFree routine for that returned argument string.

The returned expanded entry name accounts for local name translations and for differences in locally defined naming schemas.
