-struct-fields

-field dwNameSpace

Type: DWORD

Namespace, or a set of default namespaces, to which this service information applies.

Use one of the following constant values to specify a namespace.

Value	Meaning
NS_DEFAULT	A set of default namespaces. The set of default namespaces typically includes all the namespaces installed on the system. System administrators, however, can exclude particular namespaces from the set.
NS_DNS	The Domain Name System used in the Internet to resolve the name of the host.
NS_MS	The Microsoft namespace.
NS_NDS	The NetWare 4 provider.
NS_NETBT	The NetBIOS over TCP/IP layer. The operating system registers their computer names with NetBIOS. This namespace is used to convert a computer name to an IP address that uses this registration.
NS_NIS
NS_SAP	The NetWare Service Advertising Protocol. This can access the NetWare bindery, if appropriate. NS_SAP is a dynamic namespace that enables the registration of services.
NS_STDA
NS_TCPIP_HOSTS	Lookup value in the <systemroot>\system32\drivers\etc\posts file.
NS_TCPIP_LOCAL	Local TCP/IP name resolution mechanisms, including comparisons against the local host name and lookup value in the cache of host to IP address mappings.
NS_WINS	The Windows Internet Name System (WINS) namespace.
NS_X500	The X.500 directory service namespace.

Note

The nspapi.h header defines NS_SERVICE_INFO as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
