Parameters

offsetBytes
Int64

offset into the file to begin writing at, or 0 to start at the beginning of the file.

lengthBytes
Int64

total size of the file being written, used to preallocate the underlying disk space, or -1 if unknown. The system may clear various caches as needed to allocate this space.

Returns

a ParcelFileDescriptor for writing to the blob file.

Attributes

Remarks

Opens a file descriptor to write a blob into the session.

The returned file descriptor will start writing data at the requested offset in the underlying file, which can be used to resume a partially written file. If a valid file length is specified, the system will preallocate the underlying disk space to optimize placement on disk. It is strongly recommended to provide a valid file length when known.
