FlushFileBuffers
The FlushFileBuffers function clears the buffers for the specified file and causes all buffered
data to be written to the file.
BOOL FlushFileBuffers(
HANDLE hFile
| // open handle to file whose buffers are to be flushed
| );
|
|
Parameters
hFile
An open file handle. The function flushes this file's buffers. The file handle
must have GENERIC_WRITE access to the file.
If hFile is a handle to a communications device, the function only flushes the
transmit buffer.
If hFile is a handle to the server end of a named pipe, the function does not return
until the client has read all buffered data from the pipe.
Windows NT: The function fails if hFile is a handle to console output. That is because console output is not
buffered. The function returns FALSE, and GetLastError returns ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE.
Windows 95: The function does nothing if hFile is a handle to console output. That is because console output is not
buffered. The function returns TRUE, but it does nothing.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The WriteFile and WriteFileEx functions typically write data to an internal buffer that the operating
system writes to disk on a regular basis. The FlushFileBuffers function writes all of the buffered information for the specified file to
disk.
You can pass the same file handle used with the _lread, _lwrite, _lcreat, and related functions to FlushFileBuffers.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
