pg_lo_write — Write to a large object

### Descripción

pg_lo_write(PgSql\Lob `$lob`, string `$data`, ?int `$length` = `null`): int|false

pg_lo_write() writes data into a large object at the current seek position.

To use the large object interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.

> Nota:

> This function used to be called pg_lowrite().

### Parámetros

`lob`

  An PgSql\Lob instance, returned by pg_lo_open().

`data`

  The data to be written to the large object. If `length` is an int and is less than the length of `data`, only `length` bytes will be written.

`length`

  An optional maximum number of bytes to write. Must be greater than zero and no greater than the length of `data`. Defaults to the length of `data`.

### Valores devueltos

The number of bytes written to the large object, or `false` on error.
