====== LocalSize ======
==== Brief ====
Returns the current size (in bytes) of a local memory object.

==== Syntax ====
<code c>UINT WINAPI LocalSize(
HLOCAL hMem
);</code>

==== Parameters ====

hMem – Handle to the memory object.

==== Return Value ====

Returns the size of the block, or zero if the handle is invalid or the object has been discarded.

Call GetLastError for extended error information.

==== Notes ====

The returned size may be larger than the originally requested size because of internal alignment.

Use LocalFlags first to check whether the block has been discarded.

==== Example Code ====
==== C Binding ====
<code c>UINT size = LocalSize(hMem);</code>
==== MASM Binding ====
<code asm>push hMem
call LocalSize</code>
