VistaIOReadEdges(3) read a series of edge sets from a stream

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio>
#include <vistaio.h>

FILE *file; VistaIOAttrList *attributes; VistaIOEdges (*edge_sets)[];

ARGUMENTS

file
Specifies the open stream from which the edge sets should be read.
attributes
Returns a list of attributes read from the stream.

DESCRIPTION

VistaIOReadEdges reads a Vista data file from an open stream, collects the top-level edge sets found, and returns the edge sets separately from the file's other contents.

RETURN VALUES

VistaIOReadEdges returns the number of edge sets obtained, or 0 if an error is encountered. A vector of the edge sets is allocated and returned via edge_sets. Any other objects found in the file are returned as an attribute list via attributes.

DIAGNOSTICS

Besides the following, any of the diagnostics produced by VistaIOReadFile may be generated.
``No edges objects present in stream.''
