DFS_INFO_1

The DFS_INFO_1 structure contains the name of a Distributed File System (Dfs) link in a named Dfs root.

typedef struct _DFS_INFO_1 {
    LPWSTR  EntryPath; 
} DFS_INFO_1, *PDFS_INFO_1, *LPDFS_INFO_1; 

Members

EntryPath

Pointer to a null-terminated Unicode character string that specifies the Universal Naming Convention path of a Dfs link. The string can be in one of two forms. The first form is as follows:

\\Dfsname\sharename\path_to_link 

where Dfsname is the name of a Windows NT/Windows 2000 server that hosts the root of a stand-alone Dfs implementation; sharename is the name of a share published on the Dfs host server; and path_to_link specifies the path on the physical share.

The second form is as follows:

\\DomainName\DomDfsname\path_to_link 

where DomainName is the name of a Windows NT/Windows 2000 domain that hosts the Dfs root; DomDfsname is the name of the root of a domain-based Dfs implementation published in the domain's directory service; and path_to_link specifies the path on the physical share.

Windows 95/98: The DomDfsname must be identical to the name of the share that hosts the root of the domain-based Dfs.

Remarks

The Dfs functions use the DFS_INFO_1 structure to retrieve information about a Dfs link.

Requirements

  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 4.0 or later.
  Windows 95/98: Unsupported.
  Header: Declared in Lmdfs.h.
