Members

Member	Description
ofRead	Indicates that the file should be opened for reading only.
ofWrite	Indicates that the file should be opened for writing.
ofReadWriteMask	A mask for reading and writing.
ofCopyMemory	Indicates that the file should be read into memory. Metadata should maintain its own copy.
ofManifestMetadata	Indicates that the manifest metadata should be returned instead of the Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) metadata.
ofReadOnly	Indicates that the file should be opened for reading, and that a call to QueryInterface for an IMetaDataEmit cannot be made.
ofTakeOwnership	Indicates that the memory was allocated using a call to CoTaskMemAlloc and will be freed by the metadata.
ofCacheImage	Obsolete. This flag is ignored.
ofNoTypeLib	Obsolete. This flag is ignored.
ofReserved1	Reserved for internal use.
ofReserved2	Reserved for internal use.
