async_write_at (4 of 4 overloads)

Start an asynchronous operation to write a certain amount of data at the specified offset.

template<
    typename AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice,
    typename Allocator,
    typename CompletionCondition,
    typename WriteHandler>
DEDUCED async_write_at(
    AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice & d,
    uint64_t offset,
    basic_streambuf< Allocator > & b,
    CompletionCondition completion_condition,
    WriteHandler && handler);

This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes of data to a random access device at a specified offset. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:

All of the data in the supplied basic_streambuf has been written.
The completion_condition function object returns 0.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device's async_write_some_at function, and is known as a composed operation. The program must ensure that the device performs no overlapping write operations (such as async_write_at, the device's async_write_some_at function, or any other composed operations that perform writes) until this operation completes. Operations are overlapping if the regions defined by their offsets, and the numbers of bytes to write, intersect.

Parameters

d

The device to which the data is to be written. The type must support the AsyncRandomAccessWriteDevice concept.

offset

The offset at which the data will be written.

b

A basic_streambuf object from which data will be written. Ownership of the streambuf is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it remains valid until the handler is called.

completion_condition

The function object to be called to determine whether the write operation is complete. The signature of the function object must be:

std::size_t completion_condition(
  // Result of latest async_write_some_at operation.
  const asio::error_code& error,

  // Number of bytes transferred so far.
  std::size_t bytes_transferred
);

A return value of 0 indicates that the write operation is complete. A non-zero return value indicates the maximum number of bytes to be written on the next call to the device's async_write_some_at function.

handler

The handler to be called when the write operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be:

void handler(
  // Result of operation.
  const asio::error_code& error,

  // Number of bytes written from the buffers. If an error
  // occurred, this will be less than the sum of the buffer sizes.
  std::size_t bytes_transferred
);

Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using asio::io_context::post().
