How to find/refresh local network SAMBA Shares on Leap 15.1 with C/C++

English Applications

I am writing a c++ program on a Leap 15.1 (KDE) computer that accesses files on a SAMBA share in a local network. However, I’m finding that if the ip address lease expires the connection to the SAMBA share is lost.

If I type “smb://sharename” into the address bar of Dolphin, it causes the system to renew the ip address and my connection can be resumed.

My question is – what c or c++ functions can I call to provide the same outcome as Dolphin?

Thanks in advance.
