    [in]  ULONG32         imageSize,
    [in]  GUID*           mvid,
    [in]  ULONG32         mdRva,
    [in]  ULONG32         flags,
    [in]  ULONG32         bufferSize,
    [out, size_is(bufferSize), length_is(*dataSize)]
                    BYTE*           buffer,
    [out] ULONG32*        dataSize
);
