Question on maximum number of record sets per item #97

Closed jengelh closed 3 years ago

jengelh commented 3 years ago

libpff_item_get_number_of_record_sets(i, &n, NULL) always appears to yield at most one record set all the time, that is, n <= 1. export_handle.c:export_handle_get_folder_name:13215 (as of 996825578bf5c36e8c992d6c81c33902fdd0f206) even passes a hardcoded 0 as the record set index to export_handle_item_create_value_string_by_type, which further suggests that PFF items only ever have one record set. Is this indeed the case? If so, wouldn't record set index arguments be redundant, as well as the item_get_number_of_record_sets function?

no, there are certain types of items that can have more than 1 record set such as the "attachments item" or "recipients item"
