Function Documentation

void frewind ( FILE *  fp)

Wraps rewind() for files opened with gmx_ffopen().

A fatal error results if this function is called for a pipe (a compressed input file).

void gmx_chdir ( const char *  directory)

OS-independent chdir().

Exits with a fatal error if changing the directory fails.

void gmx_disable_file_buffering ( void  )

Turn off buffering for output files (which is default) for debugging purposes.

This only has effect on files opened with gmx_ffopen().

gmx_bool gmx_fexist ( const char *  fname)

Check whether a path exists.

Returns
TRUE when fname exists.

Note that this returns TRUE even if fname is a directory instead of a file.

int gmx_ffclose ( FILE *  fp)

Closes a file opened with gmx_ffopen().

FILE* gmx_ffopen ( const char *  file,
const char *  mode 
)

Opens a file, with GROMACS-specific additions.

If the file is in compressed format, opens a pipe which uncompresses the file on the fly. For this to work, gmx_ffclose() and frewind() should always be used for files opened with gmx_ffopen() instead of fclose() and rewind(). For compressed files, the file parameter should be passed without the compressed extension; if that file is not found, then a few compression extensions are tried. Creates a backup if a file opened for writing already exists before overwriting it. A fatal error results if the file cannot be opened, for whatever reason.

int gmx_file_copy ( const char *  oldname,
const char *  newname,
gmx_bool  copy_if_empty 
)

Copies a file (data only) oldname to newname.

If copy_if_empty is FALSE, the file won't be copied if it's empty.

int gmx_file_rename ( const char *  oldname,
const char *  newname 
)

OS-independent rename().

Renames/moves a file atomically, if the OS makes that available.

FILE* gmx_fopen_temporary ( char *  buf)

Creates unique name for temp file (wrapper around mkstemp) and opens it.

buf should be at least 7 bytes long

int gmx_fseek ( FILE *  stream,
gmx_off_t  offset,
int  whence 
)

OS-independent 64-bit fseek().

int gmx_fsync ( FILE *  fp)

OS-independent fsync().

Only use this during checkpointing!

gmx_off_t gmx_ftell ( FILE *  stream)

OS-independent 64-bit ftell().

void gmx_getcwd ( char *  buffer,
size_t  size 
)

OS-independent getcwd().

Exits with a fatal error if the call fails.

void gmx_set_max_backup_count ( int  count)

Enables backups with the specified number of maximum backups.

If count == 0, disables backups. If not called, this is the default. If count == -1, reads the count from an environment variable.

This is not currently thread-safe, as it is only called during initialization code.

void gmx_tmpnam ( char *  buf)

Creates unique name for temp file (wrapper around mkstemp).

buf should be at least 7 bytes long

int gmx_truncate ( const char *  filename,
gmx_off_t  length 
)

OS-independent truncate().

char* gmxlibfn ( const char *  file)

Finds full path for a library file.

Searches first in the current directory, and then in the configured library directories. Fatal error results if the file is not found in any location. The caller is responsible of freeing the returned string.

FILE* libopen ( const char *  file)

Opens a library file for reading.

Works as gmxlibfn(), except that it opens the file and returns a file handle.

char* low_gmxlibfn ( const char *  file,
gmx_bool  bAddCWD,
gmx_bool  bFatal 
)

More flexible gmxlibfn().

Works as gmxlibfn(), but provides control whether the current working directory is searched or not, and whether a missing file is a fatal error or not.

FILE* low_libopen ( const char *  file,
gmx_bool  bFatal 
)

Alternative for libopen() that optionally does not exit.

Works as libopen(), but provides control whether a missing file is a fatal error or not.
