GetExpandedName

The GetExpandedName function retrieves the original name of a compressed file, if the file was compressed by using the Microsoft File Compression Utility (COMPRESS.EXE) and the /r option was specified.

INT GetExpandedName(

LPTSTR lpszSource, // address of name of compressed file
LPTSTR lpszBuffer // address of buffer for original filename
);  

Parameters

lpszSource

Points to a string that specifies the name of a compressed file.

lpszBuffer

Points to a buffer that receives the name of the compressed file.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is 1.

If the function fails, the return value is LZERROR_BADVALUE.

Note that GetExpandedName calls neither SetLastError nor SetLastErrorEx; thus, its failure does not affect a thread's last-error code.

Remarks

The contents of the buffer pointed to by the lpszBuffer parameter is the original filename if the file was compressed by using the /r option. If the /r option was not used, this function duplicates the name in the lpszSource parameter into the lpszBuffer buffer.
