Warning, block_for_full_read is of limited usefullness.

cnx : the connection to write to
buf : a pointer to the start of an array of bytes to read data into
len : the length of the array in bytes to read ingo
block_for_full_read : whether to block for a full read
Returns : number of bytes written on success; negative on error.


linc_connection_write ()

LINCIOStatus linc_connection_write          (LINCConnection *cnx,
                                             const guchar *buf,

                                             const LINCWriteOpts *opt_write_opts);

Writes a contiguous block of data to the abstract connection.

FIXME: it allows re-enterancy via linc_connection_iterate in certain cases. FIXME: on this basis, the connection can die underneath our feet eg. between the main_iteration and the g_return_if_fail.

cnx : the connection to write to
buf : a pointer to the start of an array of bytes
len : the length of the array in bytes
opt_write_opts : 
Returns : 0 on success, non 0 on error.


linc_connection_writev ()

LINCIOStatus linc_connection_writev         (LINCConnection *cnx,

                                             const LINCWriteOpts *opt_write_opts);

This routine writes data to the abstract connection. FIXME: it allows re-enterancy via linc_connection_iterate in certain cases. FIXME: on this basis, the connection can die underneath our feet.

cnx : the connection to write to
vecs : a structure of iovecs to write - this is altered.
nvecs : the number of populated iovecs
opt_write_opts : 
Returns : 0 on success, non 0 on error.
