# tibrvMsgData_GetSize()

Function

## Declaration

    tibrv_status tibrvMsgData_GetSize(
        char**       buffer,
        tibrv_u32*    size);

## Purpose

Get the data size from a wire buffer for a decoder.

## Remarks

This layer 1 function helps decoders extract data from a message’s wire buffer. It does only part of the work that tibrvMsgData_GetBytes() does (see tibrvMsgData_GetSize):

Procedure

| 1. | Read the size information from the wire buffer (starting at the position `*buffer`) and store it in the `size` parameter.

| 2. | Advance `*buffer` to point to the end of the size information, which is the start of the actual data.

| 3. | Return.

After tibrvMsgData_GetSize() returns, the decoder can obtain the data by copying `*size` bytes from the location `*buffer`. We recommend using the more complete function tibrvMsgData_GetBytes(); this function gives programmers finer control over pointer advancement (along with the responsibility to advance that pointer appropriately).

Parameter | Description
`buffer` | The decoder supplies the address of the wire buffer within the message. The function advances `*buffer` to point to the location at the end of the size (which is the beginning of the data).
`size` | The decoder supplies a location. This function stores the size of the actual data in that location.
