Type
String.Syntax
void devP2P.SetPeerName(IntPtr Handle, string Value);
The PeerName(Handle,value) syntax has these parts:
| Handle | Reference to the devP2P instance. |
| value | Buffer with new name for remote peer. |
void devP2P.GetPeerName(IntPtr Handle, StringBuilder buffer);
The PeerName(Handle) syntax has these parts:
| Handle | Reference to the devP2P instance. |
| Return value | Current name for remote peer. |
char *PeerName = value;
The PeerName(value) syntax has these parts:
| value | Pointer to allocated memory where remote name is stored. |
Sub P2P_SetPeerName(ByVal Handle As IntPtr, ByVal Value As String)
The PeerName(Handle,value) syntax has these parts:
| Handle | Reference to the devP2P instance. |
| value | Buffer with new name for remote peer. |
Sub P2P_GetPeerName(ByVal Handle As IntPtr, ByVal buffer As StringBuilder)

Remarks
PeerName property holds ID that of the peer you're connecting to. Value isn't really important for devP2P protocol, but it is used to
Search remote peer on the mediator, and when connection arrives to test if it matches what is offered by remote side. However, to be 100% sure in remote peer's identity, you should use same secret
password on both sides since complete traffic is encrypted with it.
Note that devP2P will remember this property through address reference, so keep your buffers static and valid as long as devP2P needs it. devP2P will not free or touch allocated memory in any way.Platforms
