Meaning |
|
|
READFILEMETADATA_NOMEMORY |
[0x01] Do not read the tag overall data. If this flag is set, then puDataSize and ppData will not be used and the function will not read the comment overall data. |
|
puCommentCount |
Address of the variable to be updated with the number of comments found in the file. |
|
|
ppComments |
Pointer to an array of LEADFILECOMMENT structures. Each element of the array contains data for one comment field found in the file. The number of elements in ppComments is puCommentCount. When this array is no longer needed pass it to the L_FreeFileComments function to free the allocated memory. |
|
|
puDataSize |
Address of the variable to be updated with the size in bytes of the overall comment field's data. |
|
|
ppData |
Address of the variable to be updated with a pointer to the overall comment fields data. The size of this pointer in bytes is puDataSize. Each LEADFILECOMMENT item found contains an offset to where the data for this item is stored in ppData. |
|
|
pLoadOptions |
Pointer to optional extended load options. Pass NULL to use the default load options. |
|
Returns
|
SUCCESS |
The function was successful |
|
< 1 |

Comments
You must free the data allocated with this function using the L_FreeFileComments function.
If an error occurred in reading all file comments, then no comments will be returned, and the user is responsible to find the valid metadata in the file.
