get_search_result_metadata_size Method
Retrieves the size of the metadata associated with a vault item found during a search operation.
Syntax
def get_search_result_metadata_size(search_handle: int) -> int: ...
Remarks
This method retrieves the size of the metadata associated with a vault item (file, directory, symbolic link, or alternate stream) found via find_first/find_first_by_query/find_next as part of the search operation identified by SearchHandle. Please refer to those methods' documentation for more information.
The metadata size of a vault item reflects the total size of all vault pages associated with it which do not contain actual file/stream data; this includes file tags (both internal and application-defined), index pages, B-trees, and all other "filesystem information".
The value passed for SearchHandle must be a search operation handle returned by find_first or find_first_by_query.
If metadata sizes were not requested as part of the specified search operation (by passing either 0 or a value including CBFSSTORAGE_FF_NEED_METADATA_SIZE for the find_first/find_first_by_query 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.
