When checking out several files, it is more efficient to use IEdmBatchGet than to repeatedly call this method to check out every file.

Return codes:

• S_OK: The method successfully executed.
• E_EDM_FILE_IS_LOCKED: The file is already checked out.
• E_EDM_PERMISSION_DENIED: The user lacks permission to check out this file.
• E_EDM_OPERATION_REFUSED_BY_PLUGIN: One of the installed EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_PreLock hooks did not permit the operation.
• E_EDM_FILE_NOT_FOUND: The file was not found in the vault.
