Comments

Some file formats can contain comments, and some cannot, and each file format has its own set of comment types. When you save a file, the comments, which LEADTOOLS maintains in a global array, are saved in the file. The index into the array (specified using a constant) determines the type of comment, as described in Types of File Comments.

Before saving a file, you use the L_SetComment function to specify the comments to be saved.

The L_ReadFileComment function lets you read comments that are already saved in a file header. For more information refer to the L_SetComment function.

Note: More options are available in the LOADFILEOPTION structure.
