I am attempting to create a file using SetFilePointerEx
to simply set the size of the file. Now I would like to populate that entire file from start to end with the number 1 or any other number. I am not sure how I would accomplish that. Is there a way that I can use to fill up that entire file with a number.
This is the code that I have come up with so far. I now have handle to a file hFile
but I am not sure how I can populate it now till the available limit?
HANDLE hFile = CreateFileA(
Filename,
GENERIC_WRITE,
(FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE),
nullptr,
OPEN_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED ,
nullptr);
if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == hFile)
{
std::cout << "Could not create the file";
return false;
}
//Set a fixed size
LARGE_INTEGER li;
li.QuadPart = uFileSize;
LARGE_INTEGER liNewFilePointer;
if (!SetFilePointerEx(hFile, li, &liNewFilePointer, FILE_BEGIN))
{
//Could not create the file
CloseHandle(hFile);
return false;
}
if (liNewFilePointer.QuadPart != li.QuadPart)
{
//Error occured
CloseHandle(hFile);
return false;
}
if (!SetEndOfFile(hFile))
{
//Error use GetLastError()
CloseHandle(hFile);
return false;
}
//We now have a file of a specific size
