ATSUAttributeValuePtr

The ATSUAttributeValuePtr type is a pointer to a style run or text layout attribute value of unknown size. Each attribute value pointed to by ATSUAttributeValuePtr is identified by an attribute tag and the size (in bytes) of the attribute value.

You pass the ATSUAttributeValuePtr type to functions that set or clear attribute values in style and text layout objects. The ATSUAttributeValuePtr type is passed back by functions that query style and text layout objects for their attribute values. You must dereference this pointer and cast it to the appropriate data type to obtain the actual attribute value.

typedef void * ATSUAttributeValuePtr;

Available beginning with ATSUI 1.0.
