5 - A Big Gulp
For the gluttons amongst you, it IS possible to read the whole file in, since the file's size is known:
ebo_enumerator_t file;
<<< fill the 'file' structure from the dialog >>>
if (file.vdev) // not ram? (==0 if ram)
{
m_mmcBuffer=new unsigned char[file.size];
off_t offset=0;
size_t size=ebo_iread(file.index,m_mmcBuffer,offset,file.size);
switch (size)
{
case EBO_NOEXISTS:
case EBO_IO:
GUI_Alert(ALERT_WARNING,"Unable to read MMC file! ");
return;
default:
break;
}
}
<<< file now in m_mmcBuffer >>>
Reading in a portion instead of everything is just a matter of reusing the above code, but specifying a different offset and size value for ebo_iread().
