SE_DRM_STAT_CODE_SUCCESS and *result_out_ptr is set appropriately, if valid parameters were passed in.
SE_DRM_STAT_CODE_NULL_REQUIRED_PARAMETER and no changes are made, if any parameter is NULL.
SE_DRM_STAT_CODE_FAILURE and *result_out_ptr is set to zero (0), if *value_ptr is invalid.


Parameters Notes


value_ptr

 pointer to the EDCS_Attribute_Value to be converted

result_out_ptr

 pointer to the EDCS_Long_Float where the result will be
    stored
