Hello brian,

this depends on your asterisk version. below 1.8 you would be fine with
chan->cid.cid_name but to be honest use the buildin CALLERID(name)
function would be much easier than changing this by yourself. Or just
have a look how this function sets a calleridname.

with 1.8 or trunk it would be chan->caller.id.name.

there is also a asterisk-dev list to ask specially this questions which
depends on asterisk code itself ;)

best regards
