CFWriteStreamWrite(_:_:_:)

Declaration

func CFWriteStreamWrite(_ stream: CFWriteStream!, _ buffer: UnsafePointer<UInt8>!, _ bufferLength: CFIndex) -> CFIndex

Parameters

• stream:

  The stream to which to write.

• buffer:

  The buffer holding the data to write.

• bufferLength:

  The number of bytes from buffer to write.

Return Value

The number of bytes successfully written, 0 if the stream has been filled to capacity (for fixed-length streams), or -1 if either the stream is not open or an error occurs.

Discussion

If stream is in the process of opening, this function waits until it has completed. If the stream is not full, this call blocks until at least one byte is written; it does not block until all the bytes in buffer is written. To avoid blocking, call this function only if CFWriteStreamCanAcceptBytes(_:) returns true or after the stream’s client (set with CFWriteStreamSetClient(_:_:_:_:)) is notified of a canAcceptBytes event.
