Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getArticleReferences([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setArticleReferences([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains articles to which the posted article follows up. If this property contains a non-empty string, a References article header is created for the article. This header shows the article identifiers for the posted article to which it refers.

The references must be separated by space characters.

If the resulting header is longer than MaxHeaderLength, then it is folded according to RFC 850 specifications.

This property is not available at design time.
