CreateDeltaB function

Creates a delta between the source and target (provided as buffers) and returns the output delta as an MSDelta-allocated buffer.

Note

You must call DeltaFree to free the output buffer after this function has completed.

Syntax

BOOL  WINAPI  CreateDeltaB(
           DELTA_FILE_TYPE  FileTypeSet,
           DELTA_FLAG_TYPE  SetFlags,
           DELTA_FLAG_TYPE  ResetFlags,
           DELTA_INPUT      Source,
           DELTA_INPUT      Target,
           DELTA_INPUT      SourceOptions,
           DELTA_INPUT      TargetOptions,
           DELTA_INPUT      GlobalOptions,
    const  FILETIME        *lpTargetFileTime,
           ALG_ID           HashAlgId,
           LPDELTA_OUTPUT   lpDelta
    );

Parameters

FileTypeSet

[in] The DELTA_FILE_TYPE value that indicates the file type set to be used for the create process.

SetFlags

[in] One or more DELTA_FLAG_TYPE values that specify the flags to be used during the create process, in addition to the default flags.

ResetFlags

[in] One or more DELTA_FLAG_TYPE values that specify the default flags to be reset during the create process.

Source

[in] A DELTA_INPUT structure containing a pointer to the buffer containing the source data.

Target

[in] A DELTA_INPUT structure containing a pointer to the buffer containing the target data.

SourceOptions

[in] Reserved. Pass a DELTA_INPUT structure with Editable set to FALSE, lpStart set to NULL and uSize set to 0.

TargetOptions

[in] Reserved. Pass a DELTA_INPUT structure with Editable set to FALSE, lpStart set to NULL and uSize set to 0.

GlobalOptions

[in] Reserved. Pass a DELTA_INPUT structure with lpStart set to NULL and uSize set to 0.

lpTargetFileTime

[in] The time stamp set on the target file after delta apply. If NULL, the target timestamp will be the current time during the create process.

HashAlgId

[in] ALG_ID of the algorithm to be used to generate the target signature. Some special values are:

• 0 = No signature
• 32 = 32-bit CRC defined in msdelta.dll

lpDelta

[out] Pointer to the DELTA_OUTPUT structure where the delta is to be written.

Return value

This function returns TRUE if it succeeds; otherwise, it returns FALSE. When the function returns FALSE, you can call GetLastError to get the corresponding Win32 system error code.
