File Content Extraction 26.1
HTML Export SDK C Programming Guide

# fpGetAnchor()

This function gets the file name automatically generated by Export and used for external graphics referenced with `<img>` tags and for heading-level table of contents entries.

## Syntax

    BOOL pascal fpGetAnchor(
        void                 *pCallingContext,
        KVHTMLAnchorTypeEx    eAnchorTypeEx,
        KVXMLAnchorType       eAnchorType,
        char                 *pszAnchor,
        int                   cbAnchorMax,
        BYTE                 *pcHTML,
        UINT                  cbHTML);

## Arguments

`pCallingContext` | A pointer passed back to the callback functions.
`eAnchorType`Ex | The graphic or block anchor type for the output stream. It must be one of the enumerated types defined in KVHTMLAnchorTypeEx.
`pszAnchor` | A pointer to the location in which the new anchor is stored.
`cbAnchorMax` | The maximum number of bytes to place in `pszAnchor`.
`pcHTML` | A pointer to either the markup defining the contents of the table of contents entry, a pointer to the external graphic name, or `NULL`.
`cbHTML` | The number of valid bytes in `pcHTML`.

## Returns

- If the call is successful, the return value is `TRUE`.

- If this call is unsuccessful, the return value is `FALSE`. Processing is halted.

## Discussion

- `pszAnchor` must be assigned. It might be derived from the `cbAnchorMax`, `pcHTML`, and `cbHTML` values that are also provided.

- `pcHTML` can be `NULL` if the graphic is an internal part of the document.

- This function is exposed so that it can be called from the `GetAnchor()` callback function to obtain default behavior for anchor types the callback is not set to handle.
