BLOB structure

The BLOB structure, derived from Binary Large Object, contains information about a block of data.

Syntax

C++
Copy 

typedef struct _BLOB {
  ULONG cbSize;
  BYTE  *pBlobData;
} BLOB;

Members

cbSize

Size of the block of data pointed to by pBlobData, in bytes.

pBlobData

Pointer to a block of data.

Remarks

The structure name BLOB comes from the acronym BLOB, which stands for Binary Large Object.

This structure does not describe the nature of the data pointed to by pBlobData.

Note  Windows Sockets defines a similar BLOB structure in Wtypes.h. Using both header files in the same source code file creates redefinition–compile time errors.

Requirements

Minimum supported client

Windows 2000 Professional [desktop apps only]

Minimum supported server

Windows 2000 Server [desktop apps only]

Header
Wtypes.h
