Update the file on disk
Source position: inifiles.pp line 173
public procedure TCustomIniFile.UpdateFile; virtual; abstract; |
UpdateFile writes the in-memory image of the ini-file to disk. To speed up operation of the inifile class, the whole ini-file is read into memory when the class is created, and all operations are performed in-memory. If CacheUpdates is set to True, any changes to the inifile are only in memory, until they are committed to disk with a call to UpdateFile. If CacheUpdates is set to False, then all operations which cause a change in the .ini file will immediately be committed to disk with a call to UpdateFile. Since the whole file is written to disk, this may have serious impact on performance.
