Class TFileOutput

TFileOutput -> TOutput

constructor

TFileOutput constructor fileName [appendFlag]

Opens the file for writing.

Parameters:

fileName - String containing the path name of the file to be opened for writing.

appendFlag - Boolean signaling if the file should be opened in append mode.

Initializes the internal state and opens fileName for writing. If the appendFlag is not specified than it is taken as false. If the file does not exist then it is created with empty contents. If the file already exists then if appendFlag is false then the file contents are erased. The file is opened in buffered mode by default.

If the file identified by fileName could not be opened for writing then a runtime error will occur. This can happen if the process has insufficient previleges or if fileName refers to a nonexisting path.
