GetSearchResultSize Method

Retrieves the size of a vault item found during a search operation.

Syntax

cbmemdrive.getSearchResultSize(searchHandle, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method retrieves the size of a vault item (file, directory, symbolic link, or alternate stream) found via FindFirst/FindFirstByQuery/FindNext as part of the search operation identified by SearchHandle. Please refer to those methods' documentation for more information. (Note that, for files, the returned value only reflects the size of the file's immediate contents, it does not account for any alternate streams the file may or may not contain.)

The value passed for SearchHandle must be a search operation handle returned by FindFirst or FindFirstByQuery.

If the vault item is a directory, or if sizes were not requested as part of the specified search operation (by passing either 0 or a value including CBFSSTORAGE_FF_NEED_SIZE for the FindFirst/FindFirstByQuery method's Flags parameter), this method will always return 0. Please refer to the documentation for these methods for more information.

Note: This method can only be called when Active is true.
