WriteSectors Method

Writes data to sectors on a disk.

Syntax

int WriteSectors(qint64 lVolumeHandle, qint64 lStartingSector, int iSectorCount, const QByteArray& qbaBuffer);

Remarks

This method writes data to sectors of the disk identified by VolumeHandle.

The value passed for VolumeHandle must be a volume handle obtained from the OpenVolume method; refer to its documentation for more information.

The StartingSector parameter specifies which sector to begin writing data to.

The SectorCount parameter specifies the number of sectors to write data to.

The data to write to the disk must be passed in Buffer, whose size must be at least as large as the amount of data that is to be written; i.e., SectorCount * SectorSize, where SectorSize is the value returned by GetSectorSize.

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
