Value Meaning
GTL_DEFAULT
 Returns the number of characters. This is the default.
GTL_USECRLF
 Computes the answer by using CR/LFs at the end of paragraphs.

GTL_CLOSE
 Computes an approximate (close) answer. It is obtained quickly and can be used to set the buffer size. This flag cannot be used with the GTL_PRECISE flag. E_INVALIDARG will be returned if both are used.
GTL_NUMCHARS
 Returns the number of characters. This flag cannot be used with the GTL_NUMBYTES flag. E_INVALIDARG will be returned if both are used.
GTL_NUMBYTES
 Returns the number of bytes. This flag cannot be used with the GTL_NUMCHARS flag. E_INVALIDARG will be returned if both are used.
