Mono.Unix.Native.NativeConvert.TryToXattrFlags Method

Converts an OS-specific value to a Mono.Unix.Native.XattrFlags. [Edit]

public static bool TryToXattrFlags (int value, out XattrFlags rval)

See Also

NativeConvert.FromXattrFlags
NativeConvert.ToXattrFlags
NativeConvert.TryFromXattrFlags

Parameters

value
The OS-specific value to convert. [Edit]
rval
The managed equivalent value [Edit]

Returns

true if the conversion was successful; otherwise, false. [Edit]

Remarks

This is an exception-safe alternative to NativeConvert.ToXattrFlags.

If successful, this method stores the managed equivalent value of value into rval. Otherwise, rval will contain a 0 cast to a Mono.Unix.Native.XattrFlags.

The current conversion functions are unable to determine if a value in a [Flags]-marked enumeration does not exist on the current platform. As such, if value contains a flag value which the current platform doesn't support, it will not be present in the managed value returned.

This should only be a problem if valuewas not previously returned by NativeConvert.FromXattrFlags.
