GetBufferLength Method (buffer, len)

Returns by reference a pointer to a read buffer and, by reference, the number of bytes available, and returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the buffer is available.

Original signature is '- (BOOL)getBuffer:(uint8_t **)buffer length:(NSUInteger *)len'

Available in Mac OS X v10.3 and later.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public virtual bool GetBufferLength(
	IntPtr buffer,
	out NSInteger len
)

Public Overridable Function GetBufferLength ( _
	buffer As IntPtr, _
	<OutAttribute> ByRef len As NSInteger _
) As Boolean

public:
virtual bool GetBufferLength(
	IntPtr buffer, 
	[OutAttribute] NSInteger% len
)

Parameters

buffer (IntPtr): Upon return, contains a pointer to a read buffer. The buffer is only valid until the next stream operation is performed.

len (NSInteger%): Upon return, contains the number of bytes available.

Return Value

YES if the buffer is available, otherwise NO. Subclasses of NSInputStream may return NO if this operation is not appropriate for the stream type.
