DPNAME

The DPNAME structure contains name information for a DirectPlay entity, such as a player or group.

typedef struct {
    DWORD dwSize;
    DWORD dwFlags;
    union {
        LPWSTR lpszShortName;
        LPSTR  lpszShortNameA;  
    };
    union {
        LPWSTR lpszLongName;
        LPSTR  lpszLongNameA;
    };
} DPNAME, FAR *LPDPNAME;
