Hello,
I've scoured the manuals, can't seem to find this. I need to
get the name of the computer, e.g. "Fred Blogg's Computer".
I've tried gethostname() but this gives "Fred-Blogg's-
Computer.local", and this changes to something set by the
network service provider when you go online.
Is there some function which will always return the actual
computer name in the form of "Fred Blogg's Computer"?
If you don't mind a bit of Carbon code, use CSCopyMachineName.
CFStringRef CSCopyMachineName ();
NSString and CFString are, of course, toll-free bridged.
