pub fn write_partial<T: Pod>(
mem: &mut MemoryManager,
val: &T,
val_ptr: ForeignPtr<T>,
val_len_bytes: usize,
) -> Result<usize, Errno>
Expand description
Writes val
to val_ptr
, but will only write a partial value if val_len_bytes
is smaller
than the size of val
. Returns the number of bytes written.
let ptr: ForeignPtr<u32> = todo!();
let val: u32 = 0xAABBCCDD;
// write a single byte of `val` (0xDD on little-endian) to `ptr`
let bytes_written = write_partial(memory_manager, &val, ptr, 1)?;
assert_eq!(bytes_written, 1);
