nn::fs::FileOutputStream::Write Member Function

Syntax

virtual s32 Write(
     const void * buffer,
     size_t size,
     bool flush = true
);

Arguments

Name Description
in buffer Pointer to the buffer that contains the data to write.
in size Maximum number of bytes to write to the file.
in flush Specifies whether to write back to the device.

Return Values

Returns the actual number of bytes that were written.

Description

Writes the specified amount of data from a buffer to a file.

Up to size bytes of data are written to the file from the region at the address specified by buffer.

If you have specified a value of false for the flush argument, do not call the Finalize function until you have either called TryFlush or called this function with flush set equal to true.

This function is implemented to show an error screen when errors occur internally, whether or not such errors are fatal. Control does not return from the function in this case. Use nn::fs::FileOutputStream::TryWrite on everything other than ROM archives.
