56 <h3 class="section">7.5 Wisdom of Fortran?</h3>
57
58 <p>In this section, we discuss how one can import/export FFTW wisdom
59 (saved plans) to/from a Fortran program; we assume that the reader is
60 already familiar with wisdom, as described in <a href="Words-of-Wisdom_002dSaving-Plans.html#Words-of-Wisdom_002dSaving-Plans">Words of Wisdom-Saving Plans</a>.
61
62 <p><a name="index-portability-352"></a>The basic problem is that is difficult to (portably) pass files and
63 strings between Fortran and C, so we cannot provide a direct Fortran
64 equivalent to the <code>fftw_export_wisdom_to_file</code>, etcetera,
65 functions. Fortran interfaces <em>are</em> provided for the functions
66 that do not take file/string arguments, however:
67 <code>dfftw_import_system_wisdom</code>, <code>dfftw_import_wisdom</code>,
68 <code>dfftw_export_wisdom</code>, and <code>dfftw_forget_wisdom</code>.
69 <a name="index-dfftw_005fimport_005fsystem_005fwisdom-353"></a><a name="index-dfftw_005fimport_005fwisdom-354"></a><a name="index-dfftw_005fexport_005fwisdom-355"></a><a name="index-dfftw_005fforget_005fwisdom-356"></a>
70 So, for example, to import the system-wide wisdom, you would do:
71
72 <pre class="example"> integer isuccess
73 call dfftw_import_system_wisdom(isuccess)
74 </pre>
75 <p>As usual, the C return value is turned into a first parameter;
76 <code>isuccess</code> is non-zero on success and zero on failure (e.g. if
77 there is no system wisdom installed).
78
79 <p>If you want to import/export wisdom from/to an arbitrary file or
80 elsewhere, you can employ the generic <code>dfftw_import_wisdom</code> and
81 <code>dfftw_export_wisdom</code> functions, for which you must supply a
82 subroutine to read/write one character at a time. The FFTW package
83 contains an example file <code>doc/f77_wisdom.f</code> demonstrating how to
84 implement <code>import_wisdom_from_file</code> and
85 <code>export_wisdom_to_file</code> subroutines in this way. (These routines
86 cannot be compiled into the FFTW library itself, lest all FFTW-using
87 programs be required to link with the Fortran I/O library.)
