Sample code for file operations:

```
// Open a file and write data.
char fileName[] = "testfile";
static const char def[] = "utils_file_operation implement.";
int fd = UtilsFileOpen(fileName, O_RDWR_FS | O_CREAT_FS | O_TRUNC_FS, 0);
printf("file handle = %d\n", fd);
int ret = UtilsFileWrite(fd, def, strlen(def));
printf("write ret = %d\n", ret);

// Adjust the position offset in the file.
ret = UtilsFileSeek(fd, 5, SEEK_SET_FS);
printf("lseek ret = %d\n", ret);

// Read data and close the file.
char buf[64] = {0};
int readLen = UtilsFileRead(fd, buf, 64);
ret = UtilsFileClose(fd);
printf("read len = %d : buf = %s\n", readLen, buf);

// Obtain the file size.
int fileLen = 0;
ret = UtilsFileStat(fileName, &fileLen);
printf("file size = %d\n", fileLen);

// Delete the file.
ret = UtilsFileDelete(fileName);
printf("delete ret = %d\n", ret);

### Developing a Native Application for the KV Store That Uses the LiteOS Cortex-A Kernel \(Hi3516 or Hi3518\)<a name="section258354119295"></a>

1.  Develop the native application for the KV store using  **AbilityKit**  APIs.
    -   Write the user program by calling the APIs provided by the KV store and compile the  **libLauncher.so**  file.

        ```
        // Set the value matching the specified key.
        char key[] = "rw.sys.version_100";
        char value[] = "Hello kv operation implement!";
        int ret = UtilsSetValue(key, value);
        printf("UtilsSetValue set ret = %d\n", ret);
        
        // Obtain the value matching the specified key.
        char temp[128] = {0};
        ret = UtilsGetValue(key, temp, 128);
        printf("UtilsGetValue get ret = %d, temp = %s\n", ret, temp);
        
        // Delete the value matching the specified key.
        ret = UtilsDeleteValue(key);
        printf("UtilsDeleteValue delete ret = %d\n", ret);
        ```

    -   Edit the  **config.json**  file as follows:

        ```
        {
            "app": {
                "bundleName": "com.huawei.launcher",

                ]
            }
        }
        ```


    -   Generate a HAP file.

        -   Add resource files in the  **res/drawable**  directory based on the following directory structure.

        ![](figures/unnaming.png)

        -   Compress the  **libLauncher.so**,  **config.json**, and resource files into a ZIP package and change the file name extension to  **.hap**, for example,  **Launcher.hap**.


2.  Connect the development board and send the command for installing the native KV store application to the board through the serial port.

    ```
    ./nfs/dev_tools/bin/bm install -p /nfs/Launcher.hap
    ```

3.  Send the command for running the native KV store application to the board through the serial port.

    ```
    ./nfs/dev_tools/bin/aa start -p com.huawei.launcher -n ServiceAbility
    ```


### Dumping System Attributes on the Platform That Uses the LiteOS Cortex-M Kernel<a name="section9179161863014"></a>

1.  Connect the development board and send the  **AT+SYSPARA**  command to the board through the serial port.

    ```
    AT+SYSPARA
    ```

### Dumping System Attributes on the Platform That Uses the LiteOS Cortex-A Kernel<a name="section3179121853017"></a>

1.  Connect the development board and run the  **os\_dump --help**  command in the  **bin**  directory to view the  **os\_dump**  help information.

    ```
    ./bin/os_dump --help
    ```

2.  Run the  **os\_dump -l**  command in the  **bin**  directory to view system modules that support attribute dumping.

    ```
    ./bin/os_dump -l
    ```

3.  Run the  **os\_dump syspara**  command in the  **bin**  directory to dump the current system attributes.

    ```
