Typedef Documentation

typedef int64_t gmx_off_t

GROMACS definition to use instead of off_t.

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

(

)

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 std::string &

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 std::string &	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().

Returns

0 when successful, or -1 (and set errno) in case of error.

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().

Returns

The current offset when successful, or -1 (and set errno) in case of error.

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 std::string &	filename,
		gmx_off_t	length
	)

OS-independent truncate().
