Syntax
BOOL PathIsUNCServer( _In_ LPCTSTR pszPath );

-
Type: LPCTSTR
A pointer to a null-terminated string of maximum length MAX_PATH that contains the path to validate.

Examples
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"
void main( void )
{
// String path name 1.
char buffer_1[ ] = "\\\\path1";
char *lpStr1;
lpStr1 = buffer_1;
// String path name 2.
char buffer_2[ ] = "\\\\";
char *lpStr2;
lpStr2 = buffer_2;
// String path name 3.
char buffer_3[ ] = "acme\\path2\\path3";
char *lpStr3;
lpStr3 = buffer_3;
// Variable to get the return
// from "PathIsUNCServer".
int retval;
// Test path name 1.
retval = PathIsUNCServer(lpStr1);
cout << "The contents of String 1: " << lpStr1
<< "\nThe return value from the function is " << retval << " = TRUE" << endl;
// Test path name 2.
retval = PathIsUNCServer(lpStr2);
cout << "The contents of String 2: " << lpStr2
<< "\nThe return value from the function is " << retval << " = TRUE" << endl;
// Test path name 3.
retval = PathIsUNCServer(lpStr3);
cout << "The contents of String 3: " << lpStr3
<< "\nThe return value from the function is " << retval << " = FALSE"<< endl;
}
OUTPUT:
=================
The contents of String 1: \\path1
The return value from the function is 1 = TRUE
The contents of String 2: \\
The return value from the function is 1 = TRUE
The contents of String 3: acme\path2\path3
The return value from the function is 0 = FALSE
