BackupFileStreamSkip Method

public long Skip(
	long bytes
)

Public Function Skip ( 
	bytes As Long
) As Long

public:
long long Skip(
	long long bytes
)

member Skip : 
        bytes : int64 -> int64 

Parameters

bytes

Type: SystemInt64
The number of bytes to skip.

Return Value

This method represents the Win32 API implementation of BackupSeek.

Applications use the Skip(Int64) method to skip portions of a data stream that cause errors. This function does not seek across stream headers. For example, this function cannot be used to skip the stream name. If an application attempts to seek past the end of a substream, the function fails, the return value indicates the actual number of bytes the function seeks, and the file position is placed at the start of the next stream header.
