# write_resume_data_buf() write_resume_data()

Declared in "libtorrent/write_resume_data.hpp"

    std::vector<char> write_resume_data_buf (add_torrent_params const& atp);
    entry write_resume_data (add_torrent_params const& atp);

this function turns the resume data in an `add_torrent_params` object into a bencoded structure

# write_torrent_file() write_torrent_file_buf()

Declared in "libtorrent/write_resume_data.hpp"

    entry write_torrent_file (add_torrent_params const& atp);
    entry write_torrent_file (add_torrent_params const& atp, write_torrent_flags_t flags);
    std::vector<char> write_torrent_file_buf (add_torrent_params const& atp
       , write_torrent_flags_t flags);

writes only the fields to create a .torrent file. This function may fail with a `std::system_error` exception if:

- The add_torrent_params object passed to this function does not contain the info dictionary (the `ti` field)
- The piece layers are not complete for all files that need them

The `write_torrent_file_buf()` overload returns the torrent file in bencoded buffer form. This overload may be faster at the expense of lost flexibility to add custom fields.

# read_resume_data()

Declared in "libtorrent/read_resume_data.hpp"

    add_torrent_params read_resume_data (bdecode_node const& rd
       , int piece_limit = 0x200000);
    add_torrent_params read_resume_data (bdecode_node const& rd
       , error_code& ec, int piece_limit = 0x200000);
    add_torrent_params read_resume_data (span<char const> buffer
       , error_code& ec, load_torrent_limits const& cfg = {});
    add_torrent_params read_resume_data (span<char const> buffer
       , load_torrent_limits const& cfg = {});

these functions are used to parse resume data and populate the appropriate fields in an add_torrent_params object. This object can then be used to add the actual torrent_info object to and pass to session::add_torrent() or session::async_add_torrent().

If the client wants to override any field that was loaded from the resume data, e.g. save_path, those fields must be changed after loading resume data but before adding the torrent.

The `piece_limit` parameter determines the largest number of pieces allowed in the torrent that may be loaded as part of the resume data, if it contains an `info` field. The overloads that take a flat buffer are instead configured with limits on torrent sizes via load_torrent limits.

In order to support large torrents, it may also be necessary to raise the settings_pack::max_piece_count setting and pass a higher limit to calls to torrent_info::parse_info_section().

# write_torrent_flags_t

Declared in "libtorrent/write_resume_data.hpp"

allow_missing_piece_layer
  this makes write_torrent_file() not fail when attempting to write a v2 torrent file that does not have all the piece layers

no_http_seeds
  don't include http seeds in the torrent file, even if some are present in the add_torrent_params object

include_dht_nodes
  When set, DHT nodes from the add_torrent_params objects are included in the resulting .torrent file
