texture, itemCount, locked, quality, readable = GetContainerItemInfo(bagID, slot);

Parameters

Arguments

bagID

Number - number of the bag the item is in, e.g. 0 for your backpack

slot

Number - slot number of the bag item you want the info for.

Returns

texture

String - the texture for the item in the specified bag slot

itemCount

Number - the number of items in the specified bag slot

locked

Boolean - 1 if locked; that is, a stack that cannot be split (?)

quality

Number - the numeric quality of the item

readable

[[Boolean - 1 if the item can be "read" (as in a book)

Example

local texture, itemCount, locked, quality, readable = GetContainerItemInfo(1,2);
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(itemCount .. " stacked items in 2nd slot of bag 1.");

Result

The texture variable will contain the item's texture and the itemCount variable will contain the number of that item in the slot.

The quality return value will either be -1 or a standard quality value from 0 to 6. A value of -1 seems to indicate that the item requires special handling: It's stackable, it's unique or it's a quest item.

The readable return value simply indicates if there is text related to the item. If it's true, the default UI will change the cursor to the "Read" cursor (the magnifying glass) when the mouse is over the item button.

The locked return value appears to be set to true only on an item that is picked up via PickupContainerItem.
