init(forWritingAtPath:)
Returns a file handle initialized for writing to the file, device, or named socket at the specified path.
Declaration
convenience init?(forWritingAtPath path: String)Parameters
- path:
The path to the file, device, or named socket to access.
Return Value
The initialized file handle object or nil if no file exists at path.
Discussion
The file pointer is set to the beginning of the file. You cannot read data from the returned file handle object. Use the write(_:) method to write data to the file handle.
When using this method to create a file handle object, the file handle owns its associated file descriptor and is responsible for closing it.
