Alex Crichton b85b2a783b std: Update documentation of seek_write on Windows ... Currently the documentation of `FileExt::seek_write` on Windows indicates that writes beyond the end of the file leave intermediate bytes uninitialized. This commentary dates back to the original inclusion of these functions in #35704 (wow blast from the past!). At the time the functionality here was implemented using `WriteFile`, but nowadays the `NtWriteFile` method is used instead. The documentation for `NtWriteFile` explicitly states: > If Length and ByteOffset specify a write operation past the current > end-of-file mark, NtWriteFile automatically extends the file and updates > the end-of-file mark; any bytes that are not explicitly written between > such old and new end-of-file marks are defined to be zero. This commentary has had a downstream impact in the `system-interface` crate where it tries to handle this by explicitly writing zeros, but I don't believe that's necessary any more. I'm sending a PR upstream here to avoid future confusion and codify that zeros are written in the intermediate bytes matching what Windows currently provides.		2024-01-28 11:24:27 -08:00
