NAME
DtEditorAppendFromFile -- append data from a file into a DtEditor widget SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Editor.h> DtEditorErrorCode DtEditorAppendFromFile( Widget widget, char *fileName); DESCRIPTION
DtEditorAppendFromFile function appends data from a file to after the last character in a DtEditor widget. After the data is appended, the insertion cursor is positioned at the new last character. The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. The fileName argument is the pathname of the file relative to the local system. For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3). RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtEditorAppendFromFile function returns one of the following values: DtEDITOR_NO_ERRORS The file is readable and writable. DtEDITOR_READ_ONLY_FILE The file is read only. DtEDITOR_NULLS_REMOVED The file contained embedded NULL characters, which were removed. Otherwise, if the DtEditorAppendFromFile function cannot append the data into the DtEditor widget, it returns one of the following values: DtEDITOR_NONEXISTENT_FILE The file does not exist. DtEDITOR_DIRECTORY The file is a directory. DtEDITOR_CHAR_SPECIAL_FILE The file is a character-special device. DtEDITOR_BLOCK_MODE_FILE The file is a block-mode device. DtEDITOR_NO_FILE_ACCESS The file cannot be accessed. DtEDITOR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY Not enough system memory is available to append the file. DtEDITOR_UNREADABLE_FILE The file is unreadable for an unspecified reason. APPLICATION USAGE
If the data is in memory, rather than a disk file, the application should use DtEditorAppend(3). SEE ALSO
