A difference between this method and IVsTextScanner is that it cannot return a portion of the buffer; it will return all or nothing. In addition, it differs from IVsTextScanner where multiple clients may have IVsFullTextScanner sessions in progress, whereas IVsTextScanner fails with multiple sessions.
Notes to Callers Call to obtain immediate access to the entire text buffer.
