Windows/C++: How do I determine the share name associated with a shared drive?

Let's say I have a drive such as "C:\", and I want to find out if it's shared and what it's share name (e.g. "C$") is. To find out if it's shared, I can use NetShareCheck. How do I then map the drive to its share name? I thought that NetShareGetInfo would do it, but it looks like that takes the share name, not the local drive name, as ...

How would one share data between a parent and forked child process in Haskell?

How would I even go about forking a child process using Haskell in the first place? Also, if pipes are an obvious solution to the data sharing question - is there any other way to do it besides using pipes?

I've got this working just fine using this URL format: http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=my.url.here but the problem is, that's designed specifically to be a popup window, so the page looks weird at full browser size the buttons are a long way from the fields after submission, the ...

Is it possible to set up a folder on a remote Mac disk (in this case a Time Capsule) as a "network share"? I don't see anything in the Airport Utility to do this. The root directory seems to be a share, but I need a sub-directory to also be a share. The background to this is that I have a Sonos audio system that can use local network ...

Methods of sharing class instances between processes

I have written a C++ class that I need to share an instance of between at least two windows processes. What are the various ways to do this? Initially I looked into #pragma data_seg only to be disappointed when I realised that it will not work on classes or with anything that allocates on the heap.

Oracle datafiles on a Network Share

I have an Oracle 8.1.7 Server running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server in a Virtual Machine. We are currently using MS Virtual Server to host this.

Stupid Facebook Connect question about customizing the share-button

Portable way to pass file descriptor between different processes

On most UNIX systems passing an open file between processes can be easily done for child/parent processes by fork(); however I need to share a fd "after" the child was already forked. I've found some webpages telling me that sendmsg() may work for arbitary processes; but that seems very OS dependent and complex. The portlisten seems lik...

Specifying a target folder for Eclipse 3.4+ plugins when installing via Software Updates

After searching around I see that eclipse 3.4/3.5 now allow you to use their 'dropin' folder to manually install plugins.
