decc$record_write

Writes a record to a file.

Format 

#include  <stdio.h>

int decc$record_write  (FILE *fp, void *buffer,
                       int nbytes);

Arguments

fp
A file pointer. The specified file pointer must refer to a file currently opened for writing or updating.
buffer
The address of contiguous storage from which the output data is taken.
nbytes
The maximum number of bytes involved in the write operation.

Description

This function is specific to OpenVMS systems and should not be used when writing portable applications.

The decc$record_write function is functionally equivalent to the write function, except that the first argument is a file pointer, not a file descriptor.

Return Values
x  The number of bytes written. 
-1  Indicates errors, including undefined file descriptors, illegal buffer addresses, and physical I/O errors.
