create_file_as_stream Method

Creates or opens a file as a stream by passing the request directly to the filesystem.

Syntax

def create_file_as_stream(file_name: str, desired_access: int, creation_disposition: int, flags_and_attributes: int) -> CBFSDirectStream: ...

Remarks

This method should be used instead of the Windows API's CreateFile function to create or open the file specified by FileName when some other process has it open exclusively, or when the application doesn't have sufficient security rights/permissions to access it in a "standard" way.

If the file is created or opened successfully, this method returns a stream object that provides access to its data; otherwise, it returns None.

The FileName, DesiredAccess, CreationDisposition, and FlagsAndAttributes parameters correspond to the lpFileName, dwDesiredAccess, dwCreationDisposition, and dwFlagsAndAttributes parameters of the Windows API's CreateFile function (respectively). Please refer to Microsoft's documentation for more information on how to set these parameters appropriately.
