write_file


Description:

[ Version ( deprecated = true , since = "0.8" ) ]
public bool write_file (string path, string content, int32 size) throws Error

Warning: write_file is deprecated.

create a file

Note:

In new code, use write instead

This call creates a file called path. The contents of the file is the string content (which can contain any 8 bit data), with length size.

As a special case, if size is @0 then the length is calculated using strlen (so in this case the content cannot contain embedded ASCII NULs).

*NB.* Owing to a bug, writing content containing ASCII NUL characters does *not* work, even if the length is specified.

Parameters:

this

A GuestfsSession object

Returns:

true on success, false on error
