T is the number of bytes in the property. L is the number of data bytes retrieved, which will be either T, if all of it was retrieved, or 4*long_length if long_length was specified and is less than the length of the property. A is the number of bytes not retrieved. > It was difficult for me to understand them, and at first I thought it > was because they were merely anti-intutive a little bit.
