#include <opensc\&.h>

int sc_update_record(struct sc_card *card, unsigned int record,
                     const unsigned char *buf, size_t buflen,
                     unsigned long flags);

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
This function writes a record that is \fIbuflen\fR bytes long from the buffer pointed to by \fIbuf\fR to a record\-structured elementary file (EF) on\fIcard\fR\&. The function corresponds to the ISO 7816 UPDATE RECORD function\&. Call sc_select_file() first to select the file to write to\&.

.PP
\fIrecord\fR specifies the ID of the record to be written, or, if\fIflags\fR is set to SC_RECORD_BY_REC_NR, the record number\&. If\fIrecord\fR is set to zero, the current record will be read\&.

.PP
This function can be used for overwriting existing records only; for appending to files, see the sc_append_record() function\&.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

.PP
Returns the number of bytes written if successful, or a negative value in case of error\&.
