async_write (7 of 8 overloads)

Start an asynchronous operation to write all of the supplied data to a stream.

template<
    typename AsyncWriteStream,
    typename DynamicBuffer_v2,
    typename WriteToken = default_completion_token_t<typename AsyncWriteStream::executor_type>>
DEDUCED async_write(
    AsyncWriteStream & s,
    DynamicBuffer_v2 buffers,
    WriteToken && token = default_completion_token_t< typename AsyncWriteStream::executor_type >(),
    constraint_t< is_dynamic_buffer_v2< DynamicBuffer_v2 >::value >  = 0);

This function is used to asynchronously write a certain number of bytes of data to a stream. It is an initiating function for an asynchronous operation, and always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:

All of the data in the supplied dynamic buffer sequence has been written.
An error occurred.

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async_write_some function, and is known as a composed operation. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other write operations (such as async_write, the stream's async_write_some function, or any other composed operations that perform writes) until this operation completes.

Parameters

s

The stream to which the data is to be written. The type must support the AsyncWriteStream concept.

buffers

The dynamic buffer sequence from which data will be written. Although the buffers object may be copied as necessary, ownership of the underlying memory blocks is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that they remain valid until the completion handler is called. Successfully written data is automatically consumed from the buffers.

token

The completion token that will be used to produce a completion handler, which will be called when the write completes. Potential completion tokens include use_future, use_awaitable, yield_context, or a function object with the correct completion signature. The function signature of the completion handler must be:

void handler(
  // Result of operation.
  const boost::system::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 completion handler will not be invoked from within this function. On immediate completion, invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using post.

Completion Signature

void(boost::system::error_code, std::size_t)

Per-Operation Cancellation

This asynchronous operation supports cancellation for the following cancellation_type values:

cancellation_type::terminal
cancellation_type::partial

if they are also supported by the AsyncWriteStream type's async_write_some operation.
