SCDynamicStoreCopySpecific Reference

Overview

The functions of the SCDynamicStoreCopySpecific programming interface allow an application to determine specific configuration information about the current system (for example, the computer or sharing name or the currently logged-in user). Note that these functions follow Core Foundation function-name conventions. A function that has "Create" or "Copy" in its name returns a reference you must release with the CFRelease function.
