Stream::Write

This method writes a block of memory to the stream. This can be more efficient than writing one value at a time, and supports additional data types there is not an explicit write method for.

Syntax

• uint64_t Write(shared_ptr<Buffer> data, const uint64_t offset, const uint64_t size)
• uint64_t Write(const void* data, const uint64_t size)

Parameters

Returns

Returns the number of bytes that were written to the stream.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    WString path = GetPath(PATH_DOCUMENTS) + "/temp.bin";

    //Open a stream with read and write permissions
    DeleteFile(path);
    auto stream = OpenFile(path);
    if (stream == NULL)
    {
        Print("Failed to write file.");
        return 0;
    }

    //Initialize data
    std::array<int, 10> data;
    for (int n = 0; n < 10; ++n)
    {
        data[n] = 100 + n;
    }

    //Write data to the stream
    stream->Write(&data[0], sizeof(data[0]) * data.size());

    //Change the stream positio
    stream->Seek(0);

    //Read back the data    
    stream->Read(&data[0], sizeof(data[0]) * data.size());

    for (int n = 0; n < 10; ++n)
    {
        Print(data[n]);
    }

    return 0;
}
