-FileWriter
-==========
-
-As object that allows you to create and write data to a file.
-
-Properties
-----------
-
-- __readyState__: One of the three possible states, either `INIT`, `WRITING`, or `DONE`.
-- __fileName__: The name of the file to be written. _(DOMString)_
-- __length__: The length of the file to be written. _(long)_
-- __position__: The current position of the file pointer. _(long)_
-- __error__: An object containing errors. _(FileError)_
-- __onwritestart__: Called when the write starts. _(Function)_
-- __onwrite__: Called when the request has completed successfully. _(Function)_
-- __onabort__: Called when the write has been aborted. For instance, by invoking the abort() method. _(Function)_
-- __onerror__: Called when the write has failed. _(Function)_
-- __onwriteend__: Called when the request has completed (either in success or failure). _(Function)_
-
-The following property is _not_ supported:
-
-- __onprogress__: Called while writing the file, reporting progress in terms of `progress.loaded`/`progress.total`. _(Function)_
-Methods
--------
-
-- __abort__: Aborts writing the file.
-- __seek__: Moves the file pointer to the specified byte.
-- __truncate__: Shortens the file to the specified length.
-- __write__: Writes data to the file.
-
-Details
--------
-
-The `FileWriter` object offers a way to write UTF-8 encoded files to
-the device file system. Applications respond to `writestart`,
-`progress`, `write`, `writeend`, `error`, and `abort` events.
-
-Each `FileWriter` corresponds to a single file, to which data can be
-written many times. The `FileWriter` maintains the file's `position`
-and `length` attributes, which allow the app to `seek` and `write`
-anywhere in the file. By default, the `FileWriter` writes to the
-beginning of the file, overwriting existing data. Set the optional
-`append` boolean to `true` in the `FileWriter`'s constructor to
-write to the end of the file.
-
-Text data is supported by all platforms listed below. Text is encoded as UTF-8 before being written to the filesystem. Some platforms also support binary data, which can be passed in as either an ArrayBuffer or a Blob.
-
-Supported Platforms
--------------------
-
-### Text and Binary suport
-
-- Android
-- iOS
-
-### Text only support
-
-- BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)
-- Windows Phone 7 and 8
-- Windows 8
-
-Seek Quick Example
-------------------------------
-
- function win(writer) {
- // fast forwards file pointer to end of file
- writer.seek(writer.length);
- };
-
- var fail = function(evt) {
- console.log(error.code);
- };
-
- entry.createWriter(win, fail);
-
-Truncate Quick Example
---------------------------
-
- function win(writer) {
- writer.truncate(10);
- };
-
- var fail = function(evt) {
- console.log(error.code);
- };
-
- entry.createWriter(win, fail);
-
-Write Quick Example
--------------------
-
- function win(writer) {
- writer.onwrite = function(evt) {
- console.log("write success");
- };
- writer.write("some sample text");
- };
-
- var fail = function(evt) {
- console.log(error.code);
- };
-
- entry.createWriter(win, fail);
-
-Binary Write Quick Example
---------------------------
-
- function win(writer) {
- var data = new ArrayBuffer(5),
- dataView = new Int8Array(data);
- for (i=0; i < 5; i++) {
- dataView[i] = i;
- }
- writer.onwrite = function(evt) {
- console.log("write success");
- };
- writer.write(data);
- };
-
- var fail = function(evt) {
- console.log(error.code);
- };
-
- entry.createWriter(win, fail);
-
-Append Quick Example
---------------------
-
- function win(writer) {
- writer.onwrite = function(evt) {
- console.log("write success");
- };
- writer.seek(writer.length);
- writer.write("appended text");
- };
-
- var fail = function(evt) {
- console.log(error.code);
- };
-
- entry.createWriter(win, fail);
-
-Abort Quick Example
--------------------
-
- function win(writer) {
- writer.onwrite = function(evt) {
- console.log("write success");
- };
- writer.write("some sample text");
- writer.abort();
- };
-
- var fail = function(evt) {
- console.log(error.code);
- };
-
- entry.createWriter(win, fail);
