Function Documentation

FILE* G_fopen_append	(	const char *	element,
		const char *	name
	)

Open a database file for update (append mode)

The database file name under the element in the current mapset is opened for for writing. The UNIX fopen() routine, with "a" append mode, is used to open the file. If the file does not exist, the NULL pointer is returned. Otherwise the file descriptor from the fopen() is returned.

Parameters

element	database element name
name	map file name

Returns

open file descriptor (FILE *)

NULL could not open

FILE* G_fopen_modify	(	const char *	element,
		const char *	name
	)

Open a database file for update (r+ mode)

The database file name under the element in the current mapset is opened for for writing. The UNIX fopen() routine, with "r+" append mode, is used to open the file. If the file does not exist, the NULL pointer is returned. Otherwise the file descriptor from the fopen() is returned.

Parameters

element	database element name
name	map file name

Returns

open file descriptor (FILE *)

NULL

FILE* G_fopen_new	(	const char *	element,
		const char *	name
	)

Open a new database file.

The database file name under the element in the current mapset is created and opened for writing (but not reading). The UNIX fopen() routine, with "w" write mode, is used to open the file. If the file does not exist, the NULL pointer is returned. Otherwise the file is positioned at the end of the file and the file descriptor from the fopen() is returned.

Parameters

element	database element name
name	map file name

Returns

open file descriptor (FILE *)

NULL could not open

FILE* G_fopen_old	(	const char *	element,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	mapset
	)

Open a database file for reading.

The database file name under the element in the specified mapset is opened for reading (but not for writing). The UNIX fopen() routine, with "r" read mode, is used to open the file. If the file does not exist, the NULL pointer is returned. Otherwise the file descriptor from the fopen() is returned.

Parameters

element	database element name
name	map file name
mapset	mapset name containing map name

Returns

open file descriptor (FILE *)

NULL could not open

int G_open_new	(	const char *	element,
		const char *	name
	)

Open a new database file.

Creates name in the current mapset and opens it for write only.

The database file name under the element in the current mapset is created and opened for writing (but not reading). The UNIX open() routine is used to open the file. If the file does not exist, -1 is returned. Otherwise the file is positioned at the end of the file and the file descriptor from the open() is returned.

Parameters

element	database element name
name	map file name

Returns

open file descriptor (int)

-1 could not open

int G_open_old	(	const char *	element,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	mapset
	)

Open a database file for reading.

The database file name under the element in the specified mapset is opened for reading (but not for writing). The UNIX open() routine is used to open the file. If the file does not exist, -1 is returned. Otherwise the file descriptor from the open() is returned.

Parameters

element	database element name
name	map file name
mapset	mapset containing map name

Returns

open file descriptor (int)

-1 could not open

int G_open_update	(	const char *	element,
		const char *	name
	)

Open a database file for update.

The database file name under the element in the current mapset is opened for reading and writing. The UNIX open() routine is used to open the file. If the file does not exist, -1 is returned. Otherwise the file is positioned at the end of the file and the file descriptor from the open() is returned.

Parameters

element	database element name
name	map file name

Returns
