L_GetPreLoadFilters

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTFIL_API L_SSIZE_T L_GetPreLoadFilters(pszFilters, uSize, pnFixedFilters, pnCachedFilters);

Retrieves the current preloaded filters list.

Parameters

L_TCHAR * pszFilters

Pointer to a character string to be updated with the current preloaded filters list.

L_SIZE_T uSize

The size in bytes of the buffer pointed to by pszFilters.

L_INT * pnFixedFilters

Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of filters that should stay loaded in memory at all times. Pass NULL if it is not required.

L_INT* pnCachedFilters

Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of filters that should be loaded. Pass NULL if it is not required.

Returns

Value	Meaning
>=0	The size in bytes of the preloaded filters list.

Comments

In case the current preloaded filters list should be changed, call this function before calling the L_PreLoadFilters function.

The preload filters list contains the list of fixed and cached filters. For more information, refer to L_PreLoadFilters.

To retrieve the preloaded filters list, the user should do the following:

Call the function passing pszFilters as NULL and uSize as 0 to retrieve the size required for the filters list as returned value.
Allocate a buffer of size returned value.
Call the function passing the allocated buffer to the pszFilters and the returned value to uSize to retrieve the filters list.
