SHARE_INFO_2

The SHARE_INFO_2 structure contains information about the shared resource, including name of the resource, type and permissions, and number of connections.

typedef struct _SHARE_INFO_2 {
    LPWSTR    shi2_netname;
    DWORD     shi2_type;
    LPWSTR    shi2_remark;
    DWORD     shi2_permissions;
    DWORD     shi2_max_uses;
    DWORD     shi2_current_uses;
    LPWSTR    shi2_path;
    LPWSTR    shi2_passwd;
} SHARE_INFO_2, *PSHARE_INFO_2, *LPSHARE_INFO_2;
 

Members

shi2_netname

A Unicode string containing the sharename of a resource.

shi2_type

This member can be one of the following types:

Value	Meaning
STYPE_DISKTREE	Disk drive
STYPE_PRINTQ	Print queue
STYPE_DEVICE	Communication device
STYPE_IPC	Interprocess Communication (IPC)

shi2_remark

Points to a Unicode string that contains an optional comment about the shared resource.

shi2_permissions

Specifies the shared resource's permissions for servers running with share-level security. A server running user-level security ignores this member.This member can be one or more of the following values.

Value	Meaning
ACCESS_READ	Permission to read data from a resource and, by default, to execute the resource.
ACCESS_WRITE	Permission to write data to the resource.
ACCESS_CREATE	Permission to create an instance of the resource (such as a file); data can be written to the resource as the resource is created.
ACCESS_EXEC	Permission to execute the resource.
ACCESS_DELETE	Permission to delete the resource.
ACCESS_ATRIB	Permission to modify the resource's attributes (such as the date and time when a file was last modified).
ACCESS_PERM	Permission to modify the permissions (read, write, create, execute, and delete) assigned to a resource for a user or application.
ACCESS_ALL	Permission to read, write, create, execute, and delete resources, and to modify their attributes and permissions.

shi2_max_uses

Indicates the maximum number of concurrent connections that the shared resource can accommodate (unlimited if the value specified in shi2_max_uses is -1).

shi2_current_uses

Specifies the number of current connections to the resource.

shi2_path

Points to a Unicode string containing the local path for the shared resource. For disks, shi2_path is the path being shared. For print queues, shi2_path is the name of the print queue being shared.

shi2_passwd

Specifies the share's password (when the server is running with share-level security). If the server is running with user-level security, shi2_passwd is ignored. The shi2_passwd member can be no longer than SHPWLEN+1 bytes (including a terminating null character).
