interface nsISafeOutputStream : nsISupports

/**
 * This interface provides a mechanism to control an output stream
 * that takes care not to overwrite an existing target until it is known
 * that all writes to the destination succeeded.
 *
 * An object that supports this interface is intended to also support
 * nsIOutputStream.
 *
 * For example, a file output stream that supports this interface writes to
 * a temporary file, and moves it over the original file when |finish| is
 * called only if the stream can be successfully closed and all writes
 * succeeded.  If |finish| is called but something went wrong during
 * writing, it will delete the temporary file and not touch the original.
 * If the stream is closed by calling |close| directly, or the stream
 * goes away, the original file will not be overwritten, and the temporary
 * file will be deleted.
 *
 * Currently, this interface is implemented only for file output streams.

Methods

impl nsISafeOutputStream
[src]

[src]

Cast this nsISafeOutputStream to one of its base interfaces.

impl nsISafeOutputStream
[src]

[src]

/**
     * Call this method to close the stream and cause the original target
     * to be overwritten. Note: if any call to |write| failed to write out
     * all of the data given to it, then calling this method will |close| the
     * stream and return failure. Further, if closing the stream fails, this
     * method will return failure. The original target will be overwritten only
     * if all calls to |write| succeeded and the stream was successfully closed.

Trait Implementations

impl XpCom for nsISafeOutputStream
[src]

IID: nsIID = nsID(1603355399, 23604, 19999, [142, 50, 236, 116, 157, 37, 178, 122])

[src]

Perform a QueryInterface call on this object, attempting to dynamically cast it to the requested interface type. Returns Some(RefPtr) if the cast succeeded, and None otherwise. Read more

impl RefCounted for nsISafeOutputStream
[src]

[src]

Increment the reference count.

[src]

Decrement the reference count, potentially freeing backing memory.

impl Deref for nsISafeOutputStream
[src]

The resulting type after dereferencing.

[src]

Dereferences the value.
