Use the ReadEdition function to read data from an edition. This function

reads from the current mark for the specified format.

whichEdition is the reference number for the edition.

whichFormat indicates the format type that you want to read.

buffPtr is a pointer to the buffer into which you want to read the data.

buffLen is the number of bytes that you want to read into the buffer. The

buffLen parameter is also a return value that returns the total

number of bytes read into the buffer. If the buffLen parameter

returns a value smaller than the value you have specified, there is no

additional data to read, and the ReadEdition function returns a

noErr result code. If you use the ReadEdition function after all

data is read in, the ReadEdition function returns an eofErr result

abortErr (-27) Publisher has written a new edition

editionMgrInitErr (-450) Manager not initialized

Notes: You can read data from an edition while a publisher on the same machine is

writing data to the same edition. The data that you are reading is the old

edition (not the data that the publisher is writing). If the publisher

finishes writing data before you are through reading the old edition data, the

ReadEdition function returns an abortErr result code. If the

ReadEdition function returns an abortErr result code, you should stop

trying to read data and use the CloseEdition function with the successful
