Syntax
typedef struct _UNIVERSAL_NAME_INFO { LPTSTR lpUniversalName; } UNIVERSAL_NAME_INFO;
Members
- lpUniversalName
-
Pointer to the null-terminated UNC name string that identifies a network resource.
Remarks
A UNC path identifies a network resource in an unambiguous, computer-independent manner. You can pass the path to processes on other computers, allowing those processes to obtain access to the network resource.

\\servername\sharename\path\file
