TECClearSnifferContextInfo

Resets a sniffer object to its initial settings so it can be reused.

pascal OSStatus TECClearSnifferContextInfo (
                     TECSnifferObjectRef encodingSniffer);
encodingSniffer
A pointer to the sniffer object you want to reuse.

function result
A result code. See Text Encoding Conversion Manager Result Codes for a list of possible values. If this function returns a result code other than noErr, then one of the conversion plug-ins accessed by the converter encountered an error condition.

DISCUSSION

Sniffers maintain state information about the input encoding buffer and the number of errors and features found for each encoding; this information allows a caller to progressively sniff an input buffer in sequential chunks. Before sniffing a buffer than contains completely new information you must clear any state information by calling TECClearSnifferContextInfo.
