TOML_SaveToBuffer

Serializes a document as ANSI or UTF-8 bytes.

Preferred Clarion class method

Applications using the ProTOML template normally call SaveBuffer.

SaveBuffer PROCEDURE(*CSTRING pTomlText,BYTE pEncoding),LONG

Low-level export contract

Item Value
Export TOML_SaveToBuffer
Return type LONG
Calling convention PASCAL, RAW, DLL(1)
Binary name NAME(‘TOML_SaveToBuffer’)

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
handle LONG Positive document handle returned by a document-creation or load export.
pOutBuf LONG Caller-provided output buffer, or zero for the first size-query call.
outBufBytes LONG Size of the output buffer in bytes.
encodingCode LONG 0 for ANSI or 1 for strict UTF-8.
enableDebug LONG Nonzero enables debug behavior for this call.

Return value / error handling

On failure, read TOML_GetLastErrorCode and TOML_GetLastErrorText immediately. The preferred class method converts that pattern into a class result plus retained LastErrorCode and LastErrorText.

Example (Clarion)

Utf8Bytes CSTRING(8192)
RetCode   LONG

CODE
Toml.StartDocument()
Toml.SetString('application.name','PageSnip')
RetCode = Toml.SaveBuffer(Utf8Bytes,ProTOML:EncodingUTF8)
