Using this will return only the first 15 characters of the
computer name, if longer.
Please use the unicode version of the function GetComputerNameW
instead of the ANSI one (GetComputerNameA), because the second
one has a known bug, returning always 0 as required buffer size.
import std.stdio;
import std.c.windows.windows;
wstring getComputerName()
{
enum ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW = 111;
uint size;
if (GetComputerNameW(null, &size) == 0 && GetLastError() ==
ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW)
{
wchar[] buf = new wchar[size];
if (GetComputerNameW(buf.ptr, &size))
return buf[0 .. size].idup;
}
return "Unknown";
}
int main(string[] argv)
{
writeln(getComputerName());
getchar();
return 0;
}
