Class AtomicTextFile

Namespace: McServerLauncher.Services

Assembly: McServerLauncher.dll

Writing a config file the app owns: only when it actually changed, and never half-written.

public static class AtomicTextFile

Inheritance: object

Remarks

Both halves earn their place. Geyser's config.yml is rewritten by the address refresh every thirty seconds for as long as the server runs, and an unconditional WriteAllText(string, string) there means the file is destroyed and recreated a hundred and twenty times an hour to end up byte-for-byte identical — which also turns any bug in what is written into something that reaches disk on its own, with nobody touching anything.

And the write goes through a temporary file for the same reason AtomicJsonFile does: cut the power in the middle of the direct version and the server is left with a truncated config that Geyser cannot parse.
