Description: Reference for FwupdPlugin.memwrite_uint8_safe

### Function

# FwupdPluginmemwrite_uint8_safe

since: 1.8.2

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    fu_memwrite_uint8_safe (
      guint8* buf,
      gsize bufsz,
      gsize offset,
      guint8 value,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Write a value to a buffer in a safe way.

You don’t need to use this function in “obviously correct” cases, nor should you use it when performance is a concern. Only us it when you’re not sure if malicious data from a device or firmware could cause memory corruption.

Available since: 1.8.2

#### Parameters

`buf`

  Type: `guint8*`

  Source buffer.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`bufsz`

  Type: `gsize`

  Maximum size of `buf`, typically `sizeof(buf)`

`offset`

  Type: `gsize`

  Offset in bytes into `buf` to write to.

`value`

  Type: `guint8`

  The value to write.

`error`

  Type: `GError **`

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.
  The argument will left initialized to `NULL` by the function if there are no errors.
  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`TRUE` if `value` was written, `FALSE` otherwise.
