BCOMPILER_WRITE_EXE_FOOTER(3)						 1					     BCOMPILER_WRITE_EXE_FOOTER(3)

bcompiler_write_exe_footer - Writes the start pos, and sig to the end of a exe type file

SYNOPSIS

       bool bcompiler_write_exe_footer (resource  $filehandle, int  $startpos)

DESCRIPTION

	An EXE (or self executable) file consists of 3 parts:

	      o The
		stub  (executable code, e.g. a compiled C program) that loads PHP interpreter, bcompiler extension, stored Bytecodes and initiates
		a call for the specified function (e.g. main) or class method (e.g.  main::main)

	      oThe Bytecodes (uncompressed only for the moment)

	      oThe bcompiler EXE footer

	To obtain a suitable stub you can compile php_embed-based stub phpe.c located in the examples/embed directory on bcompiler's CVS.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filehandle
		- A file handle as returned by fopen(3).

	      o $startpos
		- The file position at which the Bytecodes start, and can be obtained using ftell(3).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      bcompiler_write_exe_footer(3) example

	      <?php

	      /* creating the output file (example.exe) */
	      $fh = fopen("example.exe", "w");

	      /* 1) writing a stub (phpe.exe) */
	      $size = filesize("phpe.exe");
	      $fr = fopen("phpe.exe", "r");
	      fwrite($fh, fread($fr, $size), $size);
	      $startpos = ftell($fh);

	      /* 2) writing bytecodes */
	      bcompiler_write_header($fh);
	      bcompiler_write_class($fh, "myclass");
	      bcompiler_write_function($fh, "main");
	      bcompiler_write_footer($fh);

	      /* 3) writing EXE footer */
	      bcompiler_write_exe_footer($fh, $startpos);

	      /* closing the output file */
	      fclose($fh);
	      ?>
