Parameters

servername

Pointer to a Unicode string containing the name of the remote server on which the function is to execute. A NULL pointer or string specifies the local computer.

basepath

Pointer to a Unicode string containing a qualifier for the returned information. If NULL, all open resources are enumerated. If not NULL, the function enumerates only resources that have basepath as a prefix. A prefix is the path component up to a backslash.

username

Pointer to a Unicode string that specifies the name of the user. If not NULL, username serves as a qualifier to the enumeration. The files returned are limited to those that have user names matching the qualifier. If username is NULL, no user-name qualifier is used.

level

Specifies one of the following values to return the level of information pointed to in the bufptr parameter.

Value Meaning
2 Return file identification number. The returned buffer will contain an array of FILE_INFO_2 structures.
3 Return information about the file. The returned buffer will contain an array of FILE_INFO_3 structures.

bufptr

Pointer to the address of the return information structure.

prefmaxlen

Preferred maximum length, in 8-bit bytes, of returned data.

entriesread

Pointer to a DWORD that contains the actual enumerated element count.

totalentries

Pointer to a DWORD that contains the total number of entries that could have been enumerated from the current resume position.

resume_handle

Pointer to a DWORD that contains a resume handle, which is used to continue an existing file search. The handle should be zero on the first call and left unchanged for subsequent calls. If resume_handle is NULL, then no resume handle is stored.
