+/**
+ * @brief Access the collection of serialized data values (of same type) and
+ *        sample info from the data reader, readcondition or querycondition.
+ *
+ * This call accesses the serialized data from the data reader, readcondition or
+ * querycondition and makes it available to the application. The serialized data
+ * is made available through \ref ddsi_serdata structures. Returned samples are
+ * marked as READ.
+ *
+ * Return value provides information about the number of samples read, which will
+ * be <= maxs. Based on the count, the buffer will contain serialized data to be
+ * read only when valid_data bit in sample info structure is set.
+ * The buffer required for data values, could be allocated explicitly or can
+ * use the memory from data reader to prevent copy. In the latter case, buffer and
+ * sample_info should be returned back, once it is no longer using the data.
+ *
+ * @param[in]  reader_or_condition Reader, readcondition or querycondition entity.
+ * @param[out] buf An array of pointers to \ref ddsi_serdata structures that contain
+ *                 the serialized data. The pointers can be NULL.
+ * @param[in]  maxs Maximum number of samples to read.
+ * @param[out] si Pointer to an array of \ref dds_sample_info_t returned for each data value.
+ * @param[in]  mask Filter the data based on dds_sample_state_t|dds_view_state_t|dds_instance_state_t.
+ *
+ * @returns A dds_return_t with the number of samples read or an error code.
+ *
+ * @retval >=0
+ *             Number of samples read.
+ * @retval DDS_RETCODE_ERROR
+ *             An internal error has occurred.
+ * @retval DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER
+ *             One of the given arguments is not valid.
+ * @retval DDS_RETCODE_ILLEGAL_OPERATION
+ *             The operation is invoked on an inappropriate object.
+ * @retval DDS_RETCODE_ALREADY_DELETED
+ *             The entity has already been deleted.
