1\section{\class{wxFile}}\label{wxfile}
2
3A wxFile performs raw file I/O. Note that wxFile::Flush is not implemented on some Windows compilers
4due to a missing fsync function, which reduces the usefulness of this class.

12\membersection{wxFile::wxFile}\label{wxfileconstr}
13
14\func{}{wxFile}{\void}
15
16Default constructor.
17
18\func{}{wxFile}{\param{const char*}{ filename}, \param{wxFile::OpenMode}{ mode = wxFile::read}}
19
20Opens a file with the given mode.
21
22\func{}{wxFile}{\param{int}{ fd}}
23
24Opens a file with the given file descriptor, which has already been opened.
25
26\wxheading{Parameters}
27
28\docparam{filename}{The filename.}
29
30\docparam{mode}{The mode in which to open the file. May be one of {\bf wxFile::read}, {\bf wxFile::write} and {\bf wxFile::read\_write}.}
31
32\docparam{fd}{An existing file descriptor.}
33
34\membersection{wxFile::\destruct{wxFile}}
35
36\func{}{\destruct{wxFile}}{\void}
37
38Destructor. This is not virtual, for efficiency.
39
40\membersection{wxFile::Attach}\label{wxfileattach}
41
42\func{void}{Attach}{\param{int}{ fd}}
43
44Attaches an existing file descriptor to the wxFile object.
45
46\membersection{wxFile::Close}\label{wxfileclose}
47
48\func{void}{Close}{\void}
49
50Closes the file.
51
52\membersection{wxFile::Create}\label{wxfilecreate}
53
54\func{bool}{Create}{\param{const char*}{ filename}, \param{bool}{ overwrite = FALSE}}
55
56Creates a file for writing. If the file already exists, setting {\bf overwrite} to TRUE
57will ensure it is overwritten.
58

60
61\constfunc{bool}{Eof}{\void}
62
63Returns TRUE if the end of the file has been reached.

66
67\func{static bool}{Exists}{\param{const char*}{ filename}}
68
69Returns TRUE if the file exists.
70
71\membersection{wxFile::Flush}\label{wxfileflush}
72
73\func{bool}{Flush}{\void}
74
75Flushes the file descriptor. Not implemented for some Windows compilers.
76

78
79\constfunc{bool}{IsOpened}{\void}
80
81Returns TRUE if the file has been opened.
82
83\membersection{wxFile::Length}\label{wxfilelength}
