NAME_BUFFER

The NAME_BUFFER structure contains information about a local network name. One or more NAME_BUFFER structures follows an ADAPTER_STATUS structure when an application specifies the NCBASTAT command in the ncb_command member of the NCB structure.

typedef struct _NAME_BUFFER { // nb 
    UCHAR name[NCBNAMSZ]; 
    UCHAR name_num; 
    UCHAR name_flags; 
} NAME_BUFFER;
