mmioFlush function (mmiscapi.h)
The mmioFlush function writes the I/O buffer of a file to disk if the buffer has been written to.
Syntax
MMRESULT mmioFlush(
HMMIO hmmio,
UINT fuFlush
);
Parameters
hmmio
File handle of a file opened by using the mmioOpen function.
fuFlush
Flag determining how the flush is carried out. It can be zero or the following.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| MMIO_EMPTYBUF | Empties the buffer after writing it to the disk. |
Return value
Returns zero if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The contents of the buffer could not be written to disk. |
Remarks
Closing a file with the mmioClose function automatically flushes its buffer.
If there is insufficient disk space to write the buffer, mmioFlush fails, even if the preceding calls of the mmioWrite function were successful.
