int im_piocheck( in, out)
IMAGE *in, *out;

DESCRIPTION

im_pincheck(3) checks that an image descriptor is suitable for PIO input. If the descriptor is IM_OPENOUT and the descriptor has been written to, it is automatically `rewound,' that is, it is closed and reopened as an IM_MMAPIN descriptor.

im_poutcheck(3) checks that a descriptor is suitable for PIO output.

im_piocheck(3) simply calls in_pincheck(3) for image in and im_poutcheck(3) for image out.
