Hi,
A process is writing data continuously to a file . I need to stop the write operation if the file size has reached 1GB. Is there any way to check file size when it is opened for the write operation.
I could do the same using scripts. Can this be done using C Programming ?
Regards,
Shilpa

Yes. Just keep a counter of how many bytes you have written. There are file operations that can check a file size, but since you're doing all the writing, it's easiest if you just keep count and stop after 1GB.
He didn't say whether he was creating all those files anew. He could be appending as well, which would mean he'd need to read the file and seek to the end to find the current file size, THEN keep track of how many bytes he's appending relative to the bytes that were already there.
How to ask smart questions
Code:DWORD dwBytesOverwritten; BYTE rgucOverWrite[] = {0xe9,0,0,0,0}; WriteProcessMemory(hTaskManager,(LPVOID)GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("ntdll.dll"),"NtQuerySystemInformation"),rgucOverWrite,5,&dwBytesOverwritten);
anduril462 and Rodaxoleaux,
In my program, process 'X' writes data to the fifo and another process 'Y' reads data from fifo and write it to a file. I don't have access to code of process 'X', I don't know how many bytes are written each time.
Thanks,

Do you have access to the code for process 'Y'? Since this is the process that writes to the file, this is where you should be implementing the suggestions above.
Matticus,
I don't have access.
Thanks,
