Remarks

FEQuickWrite is designated "quick" because it bypasses some of the higher I/O levels in the server libraries.

FEQuickWrite is useful only in conjunction with the File System Monitoring Hooks functions and other FEQuick functions. The lower level handle used with FEQuickWrite is returned in FEQuickOpen and is not valid for more conventional functions like read, write, or close.

NOTE:It is the responsibility of the caller to keep track of and maintain the position parameter.
