represents a buffer of dynamically allocated memory. A
<a class="link" href="BMallocIO.html" title="BMallocIO"><code class="classname">BMallocIO</code></a>
object allocates the buffer when you first call
<a class="link" href="BPositionIO.html#BPositionIO_Write" title="Write(), WriteAt()"><code class="methodname">Write()</code></a> or
<a class="link" href="BMallocIO.html#BMallocIO_WriteAt" title="WriteAt()"><code class="methodname">WriteAt()</code></a>.
On subsequent calls,
<a class="link" href="BMallocIO.html" title="BMallocIO"><code class="classname">BMallocIO</code></a>
makes sure enough memory is
allocated to hold all the data you intend to write, reallocating it if
necessary. Memory is allocated in multiples of a block size that you can
set.</p></div><div id="footer"><hr /><div id="footerT">Prev: <a href="BLocker_Overview.html">BLocker</a>  Up: <a href="TheSupportKit_Overview.html">The Support Kit</a>  Next: <a href="BMemoryIO_Overview.html">BMemoryIO</a> </div><div id="footerB"><div id="footerBL"><a href="BLocker_Overview.html" title="BLocker"><img src="./images/navigation/prev.png" alt="Prev" /></a> <a href="TheSupportKit_Overview.html" title="The Support Kit"><img src="./images/navigation/up.png" alt="Up" /></a> <a href="BMemoryIO_Overview.html" title="BMemoryIO"><img src="./images/navigation/next.png" alt="Next" /></a></div><div id="footerBR"><div><a href="http://www.haiku-os.org"><img src="./images/People_24.png" alt="haiku-os.org" title="Visit The Haiku Website" /></a></div><div class="navighome" title="Home"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html"><img src="./images/navigation/home.png" alt="Home" /></a></div></div><div id="footerBC"><a href="http://www.access-company.com/home.html" title="ACCESS Co."><img alt="Access Company" src="./images/access_logo.png" /></a></div></div></div><div id="licenseFooter"><div id="licenseFooterBL"><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/" title="Creative Commons License"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-nc-nd/3.0/88x31.png" /></a></div><div id="licenseFooterBR"><a href="./LegalNotice.html">Legal Notice</a></div><div id="licenseFooterBC"><span id="licenseText">This work is licensed under a
