# DEVFULL

Arduino library for a /dev/full stream.


## Description

The experimental library implements a stream class that mimics the **/dev/full**
device of a Linux system. You can write nothing to it as it is always full.
Every read data will return the value zero, just like **/dev/zero**.

Calls to **print()** and **println()** will be split up in multiple calls to **write()**.
This causes a return value of n x -28 ==> mostly a number in the 65xxx range

See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/full


## Interface

- **DEVFULL()** constructor, sets the timeout to zero.
- **int available()** always return INT_MAX = platform dependant.
- **int peek()** always returns 0.
- **int read()** always returns 0.
- **void flush()** does nothing but keeps some compilers happy.
- **size_t write(const uint8_t data)** always returns -28 (ENOSPC).
- **size_t write(const uint8_t \*buffer, size_t size)** implements print interface. 
Always returns -28 (ENOSPC).


## Error code

| value | name    | description |
|:------|:--------|:------------|
| -28   | ENOSPC  | No space available for writing onto the "storage device". |



## Operation

Use with care.

See examples.


## Future

- improve documentation
- improve code
  - test different platforms.
