Examples

var PATH = '/pps/person';

var errorHandler = function(fd, errorID, errorMessage) {
   // handle the error
   console.log('FD: %d, Error ID: %d, Message: %s.', fd, errorID, errorMessage);
}

// open for write, create the file if it does not exist.
var fd_wrt = ppsService.open(PATH, ppsService.FLAG_WRONLY | ppsService.FLAG_CREAT | 
                                   ppsService.FLAG_TRUNC, ppsService.MODE_IRWXU | 
                                   ppsService.MODE_IRWXG | ppsService.MODE_IRWXO, 
                                   errorHandler);
if (fd_wrt < 1) {
   console.log('Open for write failed.');
}

// write PPS data in native format
var PPS_NATIVE_DATA = 'name::John\nage:n:31\ncity::New York';
if (fd_wrt > 1 && !ppsService.writeNativeData(fd_wrt, PPS_NATIVE_DATA, errorHandler)) {
   console.log('Write PPS data in native format failed, FD: %d.', fd_wrt);
