Parameter Description
uFlags Flag that determines whether to read the tag overall data. You can combine values when appropriate by using a bitwise OR ( | ):
  Flag 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 LFile::FreeComments 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.
