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 {
LPTSTR shi2_netname;
DWORD shi2_type;
LPTSTR shi2_remark;
DWORD shi2_permissions;
DWORD shi2_max_uses;
DWORD shi2_current_uses;

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).
