# vf\_write\_file(3)

vf\_write\_file()

## NAME

vf\_write\_file - vf\_write\_file()

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<../vformat/vf\_iface.h\>**

**extern bool\_t vf\_write\_file**\
 **(**\
\
 	**const char \*p\_name,**\
\
 	**VF\_OBJECT\_T \*p\_object,**\
\
 	**bool\_t write\_all**\
 **);**

## PARAMETERS

- **const char \*p\_name**

  Outpt filename.

- **VF\_OBJECT\_T \*p\_object**

  The object to write.

- **bool\_t write\_all**

  Should write p\_next as well?.

## DESCRIPTION

Write indicated vobject to file.  For lists of objects (eg. Read from a phonebook) the write\_all parameter allows the caller to control if the library writes the entire list or just the head item.

## RETURNS

TRUE \<=\> written OK, FALSE else.
