FSetBufSize Function (ROM Call 0x3E2)

AMS 2.00 or higher files.h

unsigned short FSetBufSize (FILES *fsPtr, unsigned short newBufSize);

Set the buffer size of a file.

FSetBufSize sets the buffer size of the file fsPtr to a new one: newBufSize. The buffer size determines how much memory is reallocated to the file every time a write needs more memory from the heap. The default size (128 bytes) is set when the file is opened and should be sufficient for most uses. Setting a larger value will make writes faster but at the cost of possibly prematurely running out of memory.

FSetBufSize returns the value stored in newBufSize.
