NAME

WriteBattMem: Write a bitstring to nonvolatile ram. (V36)

SYNOPSIS

error = WriteBattMem(buffer, offset, len)
D0 A0 D0 D1

ULONG WriteBattMem(APTR, ULONG, ULONG);

FUNCTION

Write a bitstring to the nonvolatile ram.

INPUTS

buffer: Where to get the bitstring.
offset: bit offset of first bit to write.
len: lLength of bitstring to write.

RESULT

error: Zero if no error.

NOTES

The battery-backed memory is checksummed. If a checksum error is detected, all bits in the battery-backed memory are silently set to zero.

Partial byte writes (less than 8 bits) result in the bits written being read from the low-order bits of the source byte.
