uDataSize

L_UINT

The number of bytes in the data items.

uDataOffset

L_SIZE_T

Byte offset into the ppData variables where the data for this item starts. To read the data for this item, you can use pItemData = (ppData + uDataOffset)

Comments

pLEADFILECOMMENT is a pointer to a LEADFILECOMMENT structure. Where the function parameter type is pLEADFILECOMMENT, you can declare a LEADFILECOMMENT variable, update the structure's fields, and pass the variable's address in the parameter. Declaring a pLEADFILECOMMENT variable is necessary only if your program requires a pointer.

Pass an address to pLEADFILECOMMENT to L_ReadFileComments to read all the comment fields stored in an image file. These function will allocate this pointer with an array of pLEADFILECOMMENT structures, one for each item found. When you are done using the pLEADFILECOMMENT pointer, you must pass it to the L_FreeFileComments function to free the allocated memory.
