Summary

Create a stream from a VMO.

Declaration

#include <zircon/syscalls.h>

zx_status_t zx_stream_create(uint32_t options,
                             zx_handle_t vmo,
                             zx_off_t seek,
                             zx_handle_t* out_stream);

Description

zx_stream_create() creates a stream, which reads and writes the data in an underlying VMO.

The seek offset for the stream is initialized to seek.

Options

ZX_STREAM_MODE_READ The stream will be used for reading. If the given vmo lacks ZX_RIGHT_READ, this function will return ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED. Otherwise, ZX_RIGHT_READ will be included as a right on the created stream object.

ZX_STREAM_MODE_WRITE The stream will be used for writing. If the given vmo lacks ZX_RIGHT_WRITE, this function will return ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED. Otherwise, ZX_RIGHT_WRITE will be included as a right on the created stream object.

ZX_STREAM_MODE_APPEND The stream is created in append mode. A stream in append mode will atomically set the seek offset of the stream to the content size of the stream prior to writing data in zx_stream_writev().

Errors

ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE vmo is not a valid handle.

ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED vmo does not have the rights required for the given options.
