AuxLib - Auxiliary Library

Introduction

When working on various programming projects one often writes short code segments that are general in nature. We started collecting these auxiliary functions in a common place, the Auxiliary Library. At the moment AuxLib consists of only one module, containing input/output functions, but the library may be extended by additional, general functions.

Just click on AuxLib-BalticSea.tgz to download the package. Type tar xzvf AuxLib-BalticSea.tgz to unpack or, alternatively, gunzip and untar the file in two separate steps. This creates a directory named AuxLib which contains all the files. Change into this directory and customize the makefile. Then type make which should leave you with the library file libaux.a.

auxio

Input/Output functions.

int read_int(FILE *fp, int *dummy);

Read the next integer after skipping over a possible comment.

int read_double(FILE *fp, double *dummy);

Read the next double after skipping over a possible comment.

int read_string(FILE *fp, char *a);

Read the next string which is terminated by EOF, white space, tab or carriage return, after skipping over a possible comment.

int read_stringline(FILE *fp, char *a);

Read the entire current line as string, terminated by EOF or carriage return. Comments are not skipped.

void skip_comment(FILE *fp);

If current line starts with a '#' character it will be skipped.

void clear_line(FILE *fp);

Skip all characters in current line until EOF or carriage return is reached.
