StoreNV -- store data in nonvolatile storage. (V40)
error = StoreNV(appName, itemName, data, length, killRequesters);
D0 A0 A1 A2 D0 D1
UWORD StoreNV(STRPTR, STRPTR, APTR, ULONG, BOOL);
Saves some data in nonvolatile storage. The data is tagged with
AppName and ItemName so it can be retrieved later. No single
item should be larger than one fourth of the maximum storage as
returned by GetNVInfo().
There is no data compression associated with this function.
The strings, AppName and ItemName, should be short, but descriptive.
They need to be short since the string is stored with the data and
the nonvolatile storage for a stand alone game system is limited.
The game system allows the user to selectively remove entries from
storage, so the string should be desriptive.
The strings AppName and ItemName may not contain the '/' or ':'
characters. It is recommended that these characters be blocked
from user input when requesting AppName and ItemName strings.
appName - NULL terminated string identifying the application
creating the data. Maximum length is 31.
itemName - NULL terminated string uniquely identifying the data
within the application. Maximum length is 31.
data - pointer to the memory block to be stored.
length - number of bytes to be stored in the units of tens of
bytes. For example, if you have 23 bytes to store length = 3;
147 byte then length = 15.
killRequesters - suppress system requesters flag. TRUE if all system
requesters are to be suppressed during this function.
FALSE if system requesters are allowed.
error - 0 means no error,
NVERR_BADNAME error in AppName, or ItemName.
NVERR_WRITEPROT Nonvolatile storage is read only.
NVERR_FAIL Failure in writing data (nonvolatile storage
full, or write protected).
NVERR_FATAL Fatal error when accessing nonvolatile
storage, possible loss of previously saved
nonvolatile data.
