updf_create_file

updf_create_file creates a new updf file.

stg = updf_create_file(name)

stg = updf_create_file(name, mode)

Return Value

stg is a new storage object of an error object (see error_create).

Parameters

name

name is the name of a updf file.

mode

mode is one of the following values:

UPDF_FAIL_IF_EXIST	If the file already exists the file will be not overwritten, instead an error-object will be returned.
UPDF_REPACKING	If storages, streams or attribute are deleted the file will shrink in size. If this flag is not set the space will be used for new objects.
UPDF_ZLIB_COMPRESSION	Improved compression with lower performance.

Example

def test_updf_create_file()
{
    ssFile = GetTempPath() + "test.updf";
    stg = updf_create_file(ssFile);
    if (type(stg) != "xStg") {
        error();
    }

    f = updf_create_stream(stg, " test 1");
    if (type(f) != "xFile") {
        error();
    }
    fprintf(f, "%s", "This is a text written in Stream 'test 1'.");
    fclose(f);

    f = updf_create_stream(stg, "test 2");
    if (type(f) != "xFile") {
        error();
    }
    fprintf(f, "%s", "This is a text written in Stream 'test 2'.");
    fclose(f);

    updf_close_storage(stg);
}
