mi_streamwrite_int8( )

The mi_streamwrite_int8( ) function writes an mi_int8 (INT8) value to a stream, converting any difference in the internal representation to that of the stream representation.

Syntax

mi_integer mi_streamwrite_int8(strm_desc, int8_ptr)
   MI_STREAM *strm_desc;
   mi_int8 *int8_ptr;
strm_desc
is a pointer to the stream descriptor for the open stream to which to write the mi_int8 value.
int8_ptr
is a pointer to the mi_int8 value to write to the stream.
Valid in Client LIBMI Application? Valid in User-Defined Routine?
No Yes

Usage

The mi_streamwrite_int8( ) function writes an mi_int8 value to the stream that strm_desc references. The function writes the value that int8_ptr references. The write operation begins at the current stream seek position. You can use mi_stream_tell( ) or mi_stream_getpos( ) to obtain this seek position.

The mi_streamwrite_int8( ) function is useful in a streamwrite( ) support function of an opaque data type that contains an mi_int8 value.

Return Values

>=0
is the actual number of bytes that the function has written to the open stream.
MI_STREAM_EEOF
indicates that the end of the stream has been reached.
MI_STREAM_EBADARG
indicates that the stream descriptor that strm_desc references or the value that int8_ptr references is invalid.
MI_ERROR
indicates that the function was not successful.
