USE_INFO_2 structure (lmuse.h)
The USE_INFO_2 structure contains information about a connection between a local computer and a shared resource, including connection type, connection status, user name, and domain name.
Syntax
typedef struct _USE_INFO_2 {
LMSTR ui2_local;
LMSTR ui2_remote;
LMSTR ui2_password;
DWORD ui2_status;
DWORD ui2_asg_type;
DWORD ui2_refcount;
DWORD ui2_usecount;
LMSTR ui2_username;
LMSTR ui2_domainname;
} USE_INFO_2, *PUSE_INFO_2, *LPUSE_INFO_2;
Members
ui2_local
Type: LMSTR
A pointer to a string that contains the local device name (for example, drive E or LPT1) being redirected to the shared resource. The constant DEVLEN specifies the maximum number of characters in the string. This member can be NULL. For more information, see the following Remarks section.
This string is Unicode if _WIN32_WINNT or FORCE_UNICODE are defined.
ui2_remote
Type: LMSTR
A pointer to a string that contains the share name of the remote resource. The string is in the form
\\servername\sharename
This string is Unicode if _WIN32_WINNT or FORCE_UNICODE are defined.
ui2_password
Type: LMSTR
A pointer to a string that contains the password needed to establish a session with a specific workstation.
This string is Unicode if _WIN32_WINNT or FORCE_UNICODE are defined.
ui2_status
Type: DWORD
The status of the connection. This element is not used by the NetUseAdd function. The following values are defined.
ui2_asg_type
Type: DWORD
The type of remote resource being accessed. This member can be one of the following values.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Matches the type of the server's shared resources. Wildcards can be used only with the NetUseAdd function, and only when the ui2_local member is a NULL string. For more information, see the following Remarks section. |
|
Disk device. |
|
Spooled printer. |
|
Interprocess communication (IPC). |
ui2_refcount
Type: DWORD
The number of files, directories, and other processes that are open on the remote resource. This element is not used by the NetUseAdd function.
ui2_usecount
Type: DWORD
The number of explicit connections (redirection with a local device name) or implicit UNC connections (redirection without a local device name) that are established with the resource.
ui2_username
Type: LPWSTR
A pointer to a string that contains the name of the user who initiated the connection.
This string is Unicode if _WIN32_WINNT or FORCE_UNICODE are defined.
ui2_domainname
Type: LMSTR
A pointer to a string that contains the domain name of the remote resource.
This string is Unicode if _WIN32_WINNT or FORCE_UNICODE are defined.
Remarks
Specifying a ui2_local member that is NULL requests authentication with the server without redirecting a drive letter or a device. Future redirections involving the server while the same connection is in effect use the authentication information specified in the initial call to the NetUseAdd function. This information includes the combination of the ui2_password, ui2_username, and ui2_domainname members.
