_lread

The _lread function reads data from the specified file. This function is provided for compatibility with 16-bit versions of Windows. Win32-based applications should use the ReadFile function.

UINT _lread(

HFILE hFile,
// handle to file
LPVOID lpBuffer,
// pointer to buffer for read data
UINT uBytes
// length, in bytes, of data buffer
);

Parameters

hFile

Identifies the specified file.

lpBuffer

Pointer to a buffer that contains the data read from the file.

uBytes

Specifies the number of bytes to be read from the file.

Return Values

The return value indicates the number of bytes actually read from the file. If the number of bytes read is less than uBytes, the function has reached the end of file (EOF) before reading the specified number of bytes.

If the function fails, the return value is HFILE_ERROR. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
