XGameSaveEnumerateBlobInfo

Retrieves the blob info for the contents of a XGameSaveContainer.

Syntax

HRESULT XGameSaveEnumerateBlobInfo(  
         XGameSaveContainerHandle container,  
         void* context,  
         XGameSaveBlobInfoCallback* callback  
)  

Parameters

container   _In_
Type: XGameSaveContainerHandle

Handle to the XGameSaveContainer containing the blobs to be enumerated.

context   _In_opt_
Type: void*

Pointer that will be passed into the callback function.

callback   _In_
Type: XGameSaveBlobInfoCallback*

Function to be called for every blob in the container, return false to stop the enumeration.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

Function result.

Remarks

Note

While this function is safe to call on a time-sensitive thread, the XGameSaveBlobInfoCallback may cause delays, depending on what the title does within the callback. As an example, copying data from the callback is fine; however, doing any non-time sensitive call can delay the callbacks return. For more information, see Time-sensitive threads.

Blobs contain the actual retrievable data that makes up a container. Enumerating blobs will allow you to see all of the data available inside of the container. You can use XGameSaveEnumerateBlobInfoByName to enumerate the blobs which match a certain prefix.
