Dear all,
I open a binary file and want to write 0x00040700 to this file.
how can I set write buffer?
---------------------------------------------------
typedef unsigned char UCHAR;
int iFD=open(szFile Name,O_CREAT|O_ BINARY|O_TRUNC| O_WRONLY,S_IREA D|S_IWRITE);
UCHAR buffer[5]; //???????????
write(iFD,buffe r,5);
---------------------------------------------------
Thanks.

Not like this, in ISO C. What you've got is system-specific, either
POSIX or not-quite-POSIX-M$.
typedef unsigned char UCHAR;
Yeugh.
int iFD=open(szFile Name,O_CREAT|O_ BINARY|O_TRUNC| O_WRONLY,S_IREA D|S_IWRITE);
Hungarian notation. Double yeugh. HN used to declare what everybody
reading your code, including the compiler, already knows: the types of
your identifiers. Triple yeugh, and go to the self-confidence shop and
buy some.
UCHAR buffer[5]; //???????????
Mixing declarations and executable statements is legal in C99 and C++,
but not in C89. Beware the snark.
write(iFD,buffe r,5);
No idea how to solve this using your low-level, unlikely-to-port
functions. In _real_ C, you'd do something like this:
#include <stdio.h>
unsigned char buf[5];
FILE *outfile;
if (!(outfile=fope n(filename, "wb")) {
puts("This is the place where you'd handle a file open error.");
} else {
if (fwrite(buf, sizeof *buf, sizeof buf/sizeof *buf, outfile) !=
sizeof buf/sizeof *buf) {
puts("Handle a write error here.");
}
/* Or, since you know that buf is an unsigned char array and
therefore sizeof *buf must be 1:
fwrite(buffer, 1, sizeof buf, outfile);
*/
fclose(outfile) ;
/* For critical applications, you should even check the return value
of fclose(), but I rarely do this. */
}
Issa dat si'ple.

Do you want to
[1] write bytes in exactly the order you gave above (portable
result), or
[2] write an unsigned long value to the file (non-portable
result)?
--------------------------------------------------- typedef unsigned char UCHAR; int iFD=open(szFile Name,O_CREAT|O_ BINARY|O_TRUNC| O_WRONLY,S_IREA D|S_IWRITE); UCHAR buffer[5]; //??????????? write(iFD,buff er,5); ---------------------------------------------------
Neither open nor write are standard C functions.
What you want is something like:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
{
unsigned char buf[] = { 0x00, 0x04, 0x07, 0x00 };
unsigned long ul = 0x00040700UL;
FILE *fp;
if ( ( fp = fopen( "foo", "wb" ) ) != NULL )
{
fwrite( buf, sizeof buf, 1, fp ); /* [1] */
fwrite( &ul, sizeof ul, 1, fp ); /* [2] */
fclose( fp );
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

Use shifts and mask operations (bitwise AND) to extract the individual
bytes. The details depend on the byte order in which you want to write
to the file.
--------------------------------------------------- typedef unsigned char UCHAR; int iFD=open(szFile Name,O_CREAT|O_ BINARY|O_TRUNC| O_WRONLY,S_IREA D|S_IWRITE);
No such function in standard C. Use `fopen'.
UCHAR buffer[5]; //??????????? write(iFD,buffe r,5);
No such function in standard C. Use `fwrite'.
---------------------------------------------------
This program should give you same hints:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
const unsigned long value = 0x00040700;
unsigned char buffer [4];
FILE *f;
/* This as known as "big-endian" byte order. */
buffer [0] = value >> 24;
buffer [1] = (value >> 16) & 0xFF;
buffer [2] = (value >> 8) & 0xFF;
buffer [3] = value & 0xFF;
f = fopen ("testfile", "wb");
if (f != NULL)
{
if (fwrite (buffer, sizeof *buffer, sizeof buffer, f) < sizeof buffer
|| fclose (f) == EOF)
{
fputs ("Error writing to testfile.\n", stderr);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
}
else
{
fputs ("Cannot open testfile for writing.\n", stderr);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
return 0;
}

Why do you check the return value of `fwrite' then? Most operating
systems don't write immediately to the underlying device when `fwrite'
is called, but have some buffering mechanism. Therefore, an error is
far more likely to show up in `fclose' than in `fwrite' on such systems.

That's inconsistent. Make that:

Great. Thank all.
I use low-level I/O functions because I want to the speed faster than
stardard I/O functions.
Can't low-level I/O functions do this case?

They can, but they're off-topic in comp.lang.c, which is only about
standard C.
<OT>
They are also harder to use correctly. Note, e.g., that it is not
necessarily an indication of error if the POSIX function `write' writes
less bytes than requested.

First of all, your "low-level I/O functions" might not even be available
on all platforms. Second of all, there is no guarantee they will be any
faster than standard I/O functions. They could even be slower.

return 0; }
There is nothing wrong with your code above, and it illustrates
most things admirably, I suggest that the use of embedded tests
will facilitate a clearer order of things. This is a style
question, not a flame, and just a suggestion. My version follows:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
const unsigned long value = 0x00040700;
unsigned char buffer [4];
FILE *f;
/* This as known as "big-endian" byte order. */
buffer [0] = value >> 24;
buffer [1] = (value >> 16) & 0xFF;
buffer [2] = (value >> 8) & 0xFF;
buffer [3] = value & 0xFF;
if (!(f = fopen("testfile ", "wb"))) {
fputs("Cannot open testfile for writing.\n", stderr);
}
else if ((fwrite(buffer , sizeof *buffer, sizeof buffer, f)
< sizeof buffer)
|| (EOF == fclose(f))) {
fputs("Error writing to testfile.\n", stderr);
}
else {
return 0;
}
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
although the neophyte is still going to have trouble comprehending
the combined fwrite/fclose failure test. I have also added the
odd extraneous parentheses to make the meanings explicit.
This now follows the pattern "if phasefails exit else nextphase".
