Does iterating GetBlobsAsync load blob contents into memory?

I'm following up on this question and advice from the comments.

I successfully counted the number of files under a specific prefix in Azure Blob Storage using the following code from the linked answer:

CSHARPCopied
int count = 0;

// Iterate through the blobs with the specified prefix
await foreach (BlobItem blobItem in containerClient.GetBlobsAsync(prefix: folderPrefix))
{
    count++;
}

return count;

In this loop, I only increment the count without accessing or reading any blob contents. My question is:

Will this approach still load the actual blob content into the application’s memory? For instance, if the files are very large, I want to ensure that only metadata is retrieved so that the content remains unloaded.

I’m not sure how to verify this behavior. Could someone with experience in this area clarify how GetBlobsAsync works regarding memory usage?
