3 I/O File Functions (continued)
3.3 WriteFile
The WriteFile I/O file function writes data to the Bulk Out pipe and returns TRUE if the function is successful and
FALSE if it fails. Details regarding the syntax, parameters, return values, and error codes are listed below.
3.3.1 Syntax
BOOL
WriteFile(
HANDLE hDev,
LPVOID lpBuffer,
DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite,
LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten,
LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped
);
3.3.2 Parameters
Input:
hDev—Handle returned from a successful CreateFile.
nNumberOfBytesToWrite—Specifies the number of bytes to be written.
lpOverlapped—Pointer to OVERLAPPED structure. This is an optional parameter that can be “NULL” if overlapping
I/O is not required.
Output:
lpBuffer—Pointer to the buffer containing the data to be written to the Bulk Out pipe of the device. This buffer is
assumed to be in locked system memory allocated from the nonpaged pool.
lpNumberOfBytesWritten—Pointer to the number of bytes written.
3.3.3 Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE (1).
If the function fails, the return value is FALSE (0). To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
3.3.4 Notes
See the
Win32 SDK
