IAsyncReader::SyncRead

  • Article

Performs a synchronous read.

HRESULT SyncRead(
LONGLONG llPosition,
LONG lLength,
BYTE* pBuffer);

Parameters

  • llPosition
    [in] Absolute file position.
  • lLength
    [in] Number of bytes required.
  • pBuffer
    [out] Where the data is written.

Return Values

Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation of the interface. Current DirectShow implementation return values include:

Value Description
VFW_E_BADALIGN An invalid alignment was specified.
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32 Win32 error.
S_FALSE Size changed (probably due to end of file).
S_OK Success.

Remarks

The SyncRead method works in a stopped state as well as in a running state. The read is not necessarily aligned. This method fails if the read is beyond the actual total length.
