cwbOBJ_ReadResource

Purpose

Reads bytes from the current read location.

Syntax

 
unsigned int CWB_ENTRY  cwbOBJ_ReadResource(
                               cwbOBJ_ObjHandle  resourceHandle,
                               char             *bBuffer,
                               unsigned long     bytesToRead,
                               unsigned long    *bytesRead,
                               cwbSV_ErrHandle   errorHandle);

Parameters

cwbOBJ_ObjHandle resourceHandle - input

Handle of the AFP™ resource object to be read from.

char *buffer - input

Pointer to buffer to hold the bytes read from the resource.

unsigned long bytesToRead - input

Maximum number of bytes to read. The number read may be less than this.

unsigned long *bytesRead - output

Number of bytes actually read.

cwbSV_ErrHandle errorHandle - output

Optional, may be 0. Any returned messages will be written to this object. It is created with the cwbSV_CreateErrHandle() API. The messages may be retrieved through the cwbSV_GetErrText() API. If the parameter is set to zero, no messages will be retrievable.

Return Codes

The following list shows common return values.

CWB_NO_ERROR

Successful completion.

CWB_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

Insufficient memory.

CWB_INVALID_HANDLE

Handle is not valid spooled file handle.

CWBOBJ_RC_HOST_ERROR

Host error occurred. Text may be in errorHandle.

CWBOBJ_RC_RSCNOTOPEN

Resource file has not been opened yet.

CWBOBJ_RC_ENDOFFILE

The end of file was read.

Usage

The cwbOBJ_OpenResource() API must be called with this resource handle before this API is called OR the handle must be retrieved with a call to the cwbOBJ_OpenResourceForSplF() API. If the end of file is reached when reading, the return code will be CWBOBJ_RC_ENDOFFILE and bytesRead will contain the actual number of bytes read.
