Where can i find .DLL info

[Sver]

When I search for Computername in kernel32.dll    ,  I'll  find     GetComputerNameA


In LB example, they use COMPUTERNAME
How can i find the right one for other things?

Thanks

Where is the LB example? If the API function is GetComputerNameA, that is what we'd use. Can you point to the example so we can see the details?

name$="COMPUTERNAME"
print GetEnvVar$(name$)
wait

function GetEnvVar$(name$)
       lbuf$ = space$(255) + chr$(0)
       name$ = name$ + chr$(0)
       calldll #kernel32, "GetEnvironmentVariableA",_
                           name$ as ptr, _
                           lbuf$ as ptr, _
                           256 as long, _
                           result as long
       if result = 0 then
           GetEnvVar$ = "Environment Variable Not Found"
       else
           GetEnvVar$ = left$(lbuf$,result)
       end if

   end function



It works, but as a beginner i aspect to use GetComputerNameA. I did found this code, but how to get it with    GetComputerNameA      ?
GetEnvironmentVariableA contains more info, but where can i find it?

ABCs of APIs Lesson One


You appear to be new to making API calls. Start with the ABCs of APIs series above. You first need to understand the mechanics of using calldll in Liberty BASIC. It's the most complex subject for programming in LB and you'll need to put some time into understanding it.

API functions are not part of Liberty BASIC. LB makes it possible to USE these functions, but they are part of Windows itself, or part of third party libraries, so the documentation can be found with the third party library or on the Microsoft Developers Network, "MSDN."
