);
Parameters
- lpName
[in] Long pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies either a local name that has been redirected to a network resource, or the remote name of a network resource to which a connection has been made without necessarily creating a local name
- lpUserName
[out] Long pointer to a buffer that receives the null-terminated user name.
- lpnLength
