| WORD WNetGetUser(szUser, nBufferSize) | |||
| LPSTR szUser; | |||
| WORD FAR * nBufferSize; |
The WNetGetUser function retrieves the current user name.
szUser
Points to the buffer to receive the current user name.
nBufferSize
Points to a variable containing the size of the buffer pointed to by the szUser parameter. The function copies the actual size (in bytes) of the user name to the variable.
The return value is one of the following values.
| Value | Meaning |
| WN_BAD_POINTER | Invalid pointer. |
| WN_BAD_USER | Not logged in; no current user name. |
| WN_MORE_DATA | The buffer was too small. |
| WN_NET_ERROR | Network error. |
| WN_NOT_SUPPORTED | Function not supported. |
| WN_OUT_OF_MEMORY | Out of memory. |
| WN_SUCCESS | Success. |
The export ordinal for this function is 16.
If the network does not support a string that directly corresponds to the MS-Net user name, the driver can either return an acceptable substitute or not support this function.
If the function returns WN_MORE_DATA, the function also copies the size (in bytes) of the buffer required to hold the complete user name.
