2.2.1.32 CPidMapper

  • Article

The CPidMapper structure contains an array of property specifications and serves to map from a property offset to a full property specification. The more compact property offsets are used to name properties in other parts of the protocol. Since offsets are more compact, they allow shorter property references in other parts of the protocol.

count (4 bytes): A 32-bit unsigned integer containing the number of elements in the aPropSpec array.

paddingPropSpec (variable): This field MUST be 0 to 4 bytes in length. The length of this field MUST be such that the byte offset from the beginning of the message to the first structure contained in the aPropSpec field is a multiple of 8. The value of the bytes can be any arbitrary value and MUST be ignored by the receiver.

aPropSpec (variable): Array of CFullPropSpec structures indicating the properties to return. Each CFullPropSpec in the array MUST be separated by 0 to 3 padding bytes such that each structure has a 4-byte alignment from the beginning of a message. Such padding bytes can be set to any arbitrary value when sent and MUST be ignored on receipt.
