EditionHasFormat

What formats are available?

#include <Editions.h> Edition Manager

OSErr EditionHasFormat( whichEdition, whichFormat,

formatSize);

EditionRefNum whichEdition ; specifies the format number

FormatType whichFormat; indicates the format type for the edition

Size * formatSize ; specifies the format length

returns Error Code; 0=no error

Use the EditionHasFormat function to learn in which formats the edition

data is available.

whichEdition specifies the reference number for the edition

whichFormat indicates the format type that you are requesting. For the

whichFormat parameter, you should decide which formats to read in

the same way that you do when using paste from the

Scrap Manager. You can also get a list of all the available formats

and their respective lengths by reading the kFormatListFormat

('fmts') format..

formatSize specifies the format length.

Returns: an operating system Error Code.

noErr (0) No error

rfNumErr (-51) Bad edition reference number

noTypeErr (-102) Format not available

editionMgrInitErr (-450) Manager not initialized

Notes: If the requested format is available, this function returns noErr, and the

formatSize parameter returns the size of the data in the specified format

or kFormatLengthUnknown (-1), which signifies that the size is unknown.

You should therefore continue to read the format until there is no more data.

Be aware that the EditionHasFormat function may return

kFormatLengthUnknown for the length of the format.
