Gets extended parameter information specific to the compression format being used.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

Object GetOption(
	string optionName,
	Object[] parameters
)

Function GetOption ( 
	optionName As String,
	parameters As Object()
) As Object

Object^ GetOption(
	String^ optionName, 
	array<Object^>^ parameters
)

Parameters

optionName (String): Name of the option being requested.

parameters (array<Object>[]()[][]): Parameters for the option; for per-file options, the first parameter is typically the internal file path.

Return Value

Object
Option value, or null to use the default behavior.

Remarks

This method provides a way to set uncommon options during packaging, or a way to handle aspects of compression formats not supported by the base library.

For example, this may be used by the zip compression library to specify different compression methods/levels on a per-file basis.

The available option names, parameters, and expected return values should be documented by each compression library.
