String Atom Structure

A string atom contains a string. The structure of a string atom is defined by the VRStringAtom data type:



 
typedef struct VRStringAtom {

    UInt16                              stringUsage;

    UInt16                              stringLength;

    unsigned char                       theString[4];

} VRStringAtom, *VRStringAtomPtr;

stringUsage: The string usage. Currently, this field is unused.
stringLength: The length, in bytes, of the string.
theString: The string. The string atom structure is extended to hold this string.
