ArcOpenW function

The function must execute some operations before starting processing each archive.

Syntax C++

ArchiveData [in, out]

Type: *ArcOpenDataW

Type: HANDLE

Function must return unique identifier for the archive. Presumably the identifier is a pointer to a data structure, describing the archive.

If function resulted in an error, it should return 0. Error number should be placed into ArchiveData->OpenResult.
