LPC Library Functions: write_buffer

NAME

write_buffer() - write a buffer to a file, or write into a buffer from a source

SYNOPSIS

int write_buffer( string dest, int start, mixed source );

int write_buffer( buffer buf, int start, mixed source );

DESCRIPTION

In the first form, write_buffer() writes the content of 'source' to the file named 'dest' starting at destination byte # 'start'. 'source' must be an int, buffer, or a string. Ints will be written to the file in network-byte-order.

In the second form, write_buffer() writes the content of 'source' into the buffer 'buf' starting at destination byte # 'start'. 'source' must be an int, buffer, or a string. Ints will be written to the buffer in network-byte-order.

This function is only available if the driver flag NO_BUFFER_TYPE is not defined.
