There is a comment in this spot:
/*
* For reads, the following members are filled in with the metadata for
* the encoded data.
* For writes, the following members must be set to the metadata for the
* encoded data.
*/
I'll clarify it to:
/*
* For reads, the following members are output parameters that will
* contain the returned metadata for the encoded data.
* For writes, the following members must be set to the metadata for the
* encoded data.
*/
