Buffer-oriented synchronous write stream requirements

In the table below, a denotes a synchronous write stream object, cb denotes an object satisfying constant buffer sequence requirements, and ec denotes an object of type error_code.

Table 34. Buffer-oriented synchronous write stream requirements

operation

type

semantics, pre/post-conditions

a.write_some(cb);

size_t

Equivalent to:

error_code ec;
size_t s = a.write_some(cb, ec);
if (ec) throw system_error(ec);
return s;

a.write_some(cb, ec);

size_t

Writes one or more bytes of data to the stream a.

The constant buffer sequence cb specifies memory where the data to be written is located. The write_some operation shall always write a buffer in the sequence completely before proceeding to the next.

If successful, returns the number of bytes written and sets ec such that !ec is true. If an error occurred, returns 0 and sets ec such that !!ec is true.

If the total size of all buffers in the sequence cb is 0, the function shall return 0 immediately.
