PHYSFS_openAppend

Open a file for appending.

Header File

Syntax

PHYSFS_File * PHYSFS_openAppend(const char *filename);

Function Parameters

const char *

filename

File to open.

Return Value

(PHYSFS_File *) Returns A valid PhysicsFS filehandle on success, NULL on error. Use PHYSFS_getLastErrorCode() to obtain the specific error.

Remarks

Open a file for writing, in platform-independent notation and in relation to the write dir as the root of the writable filesystem. The specified file is created if it doesn't exist. If it does exist, the writing offset is set to the end of the file, so the first write will be the byte after the end.

Note that entries that are symlinks are ignored if PHYSFS_permitSymbolicLinks(1) hasn't been called, and opening a symlink with this function will fail in such a case.

Thread Safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Version

This function is available since PhysicsFS 1.0.0.
