LZRead info  Overview  Group

The LZRead function reads (at most) the specified number of bytes from a file and copies them into a buffer.

INT LZRead(

Parameters

hFile

Identifies the source file.

lpBuffer

Points to a buffer that receives the bytes read from the file.

cbRead

Specifies the count of bytes to be read.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value specifies the number of bytes read.

If the function fails, the return value is an LZERROR_* code. These codes have values less than zero. Note that LZRead calls neither SetLastError nor SetLastErrorEx; thus, its failure does not affect a thread’s last-error code.

Here is a list of the LZERROR_* codes that LZRead can return upon failure:

There is no extended error information for this function; do not call GetLastError.

Remarks

The handle identifying the file must be retrieved by calling either the LZInit or LZOpenFile function.

If the file is compressed, LZRead emulates the _lread function on an expanded image of the file and copies the bytes of data into the specified buffer.

Applications must call the LZOpenFile, LZSeek, and LZRead functions instead of the OpenFile, _llseek, and _lread functions.
