Syntax

[DoesServiceRequestAttribute]
public Task AppendFromFileAsync(
    string path,
    FileMode mode,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken
)

<DoesServiceRequestAttribute>
Public Function AppendFromFileAsync (
    path As String,
    mode As FileMode,
    cancellationToken As CancellationToken
) As Task

Parameters

• path
  Type: System.String

  A string containing the file path providing the blob content.

  Type: System.IO.FileMode

  A FileMode enumeration value that specifies how to open the file.

Remarks

Use this method only in single-writer scenarios. Internally, this method uses the append-offset conditional header to avoid duplicate blocks, which may cause problems in multiple-writer scenarios.
