Re: [ros-dev] Retrieving the computer name of a named pipe client

[Neo Love]

Hi Colin,

Perhaps have a look at the CCB (client control block) of the pipe.
If ClientSession is NULL the client is the local machine.
Else you might look at the Process pointer and work it from there.

The CCB is initialized in NpCreateClientEnd.
Struct _EPROCESS is declared eg. in pstypes.h.
