EMILUA(3em)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to EMILUA(3em) — the Emilua manual page — and the whole vibe is literally: Emilua — Lua execution engine ✨. That’s the icon, that’s the main character, periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Here’s the exact little handshake, no cap:

local file = require "file"
file.write_at_least_at(io_object, offset: integer, buffer: byte_span, minimum: integer) -> integer

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So file.write_at_least_at is doing the absolute most in the best way: it writes data until a minimum number of bytes has been transferred at the specified offset, and then it returns. Lowkey obsessed with the commitment 💅.

📝 Note: This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the device’s write_some_at function. Like, zero or more — not me making that up, that’s literally the note 🫶.

💖 later bestie! This iconic page is from Emilua 0.12.1-nixpkgs1, dated 1980-01-01. mwah 💋🎀
