IAsyncReader::Length
The Length method retrieves the total length of the stream.
Syntax
HRESULT Length( LONGLONG *pTotal, LONGLONG *pAvailable );
Parameters
pTotal
Pointer to a variable that receives the length of the stream, in bytes.
pAvailable
Pointer to a variable that receives the portion of the stream that is currently available, in bytes.
Return Values
Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include the following.
Return code | Description |
S_OK | Success. |
VFW_S_ESTIMATED | The returned values are estimates; for example, if the file is being read over a network. |
E_UNEXPECTED | The file is not open or no longer exists. |
Remarks
For streams retrieved over a network, the entire stream may not be available at first. Read operations beyond the available length might block for a long period of time, until that portion of the stream becomes available.
