# SCDynamicStoreCopySpecific ## 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 function. ## Topics ### Group [`func SCDynamicStoreCopyComputerName(SCDynamicStore?, UnsafeMutablePointer?) -> CFString?`](/documentation/SystemConfiguration/SCDynamicStoreCopyComputerName(_:_:)) Returns the current computer name.
