A path to a file containing an external data source.
Syntax
cadessigner.getDataFile([callback]) cadessigner.setDataFile( dataFile, [callback])
Default Value
""
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 getDataFile([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 setDataFile([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
Use this property to provide an external data source for detached signatures. This property should only be assigned when countersigning or timestamping existing detached signatures. In this case the detached signature should be provided via InputFile, and the corresponding detached data via this property.
