I don't think so.
Closing file without flushing:
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"io"
"os"
)
func main() {
sourceFilename := "MozillaFirefox-66.0.5-741.4.x86_64.rpm"
sourcef, err := os.Open(sourceFilename)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while opening source file:", err)
return
}
defer sourcef.Close()
destinationFilename := "CopiedMozillaFirefox-66.0.5-741.4.x86_64.rpm"
os.Create(destinationFilename)
destf, err := os.OpenFile(destinationFilename, os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY,
os.ModeAppend)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while opening destination file:", err)
return
}
defer func() {
fmt.Println("Closing file.")
destf.Close()
}()
fReader := bufio.NewReader(sourcef)
fWriter := bufio.NewWriter(destf)
n, err := io.Copy(fWriter, fReader)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while copying:", err)
return
}
fmt.Println("Copied", n, "bytes.")
}
Output:
➜ throttle-and-resume-download go run copyTest.go
Copied 46061104 bytes.
Closing file.
➜ throttle-and-resume-download diff MozillaFirefox-66.0.5-741.4.x86_64.rpm

Binary files MozillaFirefox-66.0.5-741.4.x86_64.rpm and
CopiedMozillaFirefox-66.0.5-741.4.x86_64.rpm differ
When I flush:
package main
import (

"fmt"
"io"
"os"
)
func main() {
sourceFilename := "MozillaFirefox-66.0.5-741.4.x86_64.rpm"

if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while opening source file:", err)
return
}
defer sourcef.Close()
destinationFilename := "CopiedMozillaFirefox-66.0.5-741.4.x86_64.rpm"
os.Create(destinationFilename)
destf, err := os.OpenFile(destinationFilename, os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY,
os.ModeAppend)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while opening destination file:", err)
return
}
defer func() {
fmt.Println("Closing file.")
destf.Close()
}()
fReader := bufio.NewReader(sourcef)
fWriter := bufio.NewWriter(destf)
n, err := io.Copy(fWriter, fReader)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while copying:", err)
return
}
// Flush writer to ensure all contents are written to file
err = fWriter.Flush()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error while flushing writer:", err)
return
} else {
fmt.Println("Flushed writer.")
}
fmt.Println("Copied", n, "bytes.")
}
Output:
➜ throttle-and-resume-download go run copyTest.go
