CAA file standard example not right size in read

2020-02-27T15:58:04.142000Z

filrd.szSize is always read as zero, I am wondering why this is happening.

Also I am confused about what the how the pBuffer in filrd works. when I set the pBuffer to "" it is the a number 22 greater than the pBuffer for the initial write.

Any help with this issue would be appreciated thanks.
