ds_map_secure_save_buffer

This function will save a previously created DS map to a buffer. You supply the DS map ID value (as returned by the function ds_map_create()) and the ID of the buffer to write to (as returned by the function buffer_create()). Note that if the DS map being saved contains an array, this will be converted into a DS list instead when saved.

IMPORTANT! The secure saved DS map file can only be loaded on the device that created it, and if you try to load a file that was saved on a different device, then it will not work.

NOTE: This function is not supported on HTML5.

Syntax:

ds_map_secure_save_buffer(filename);

Returns:

N/A

Example:

buff = buffer_create(128,buffer_grow,4);
var map = ds_map_create();
ds_map_add(map,"bob","ajob");
ds_map_add(map,"money",10);
ds_map_secure_save_buffer(map, buff);
ds_map_destroy(map);

The above code will create a buffer and a DS map, then populate the map with some values and write it to the buffer before deleting the map.
