The mi_streamwrite_integer() function
The mi_streamwrite_integer() function writes an mi_integer (INTEGER) value to a stream, converting any difference in the internal representation to that of the stream representation.
Syntax
mi_integer mi_streamwrite_integer(strm_desc, int_data)
MI_STREAM *strm_desc;
mi_integer int_data;- strm_desc
- A pointer to the stream descriptor for the open stream to which to write the mi_integer value.
- int_data
- The mi_integer value to write to the stream.

Usage
The mi_streamwrite_integer() function writes an mi_integer value to the stream that strm_desc references. The function writes the int_data value. The write operation begins at the current stream seek position. You can use mi_stream_tell() or mi_stream_getpos() to obtain this seek position.
The mi_streamwrite_integer() function is useful in a streamwrite() support function of an opaque data type that contains an mi_integer value.
For more information about the use of mi_streamwrite_integer() in a streamwrite() support function, see the Informix® DataBlade® API Programmer's Guide.
Return values
- >=0
- The actual number of bytes that the function has written to the open stream.
- MI_STREAM_EEOF
- The end of the stream has been reached.
- MI_STREAM_EBADARG
- The stream descriptor that strm_desc references or the int_data value is invalid.
- MI_ERROR
- The function was not successful.
