FFTW 3.3.5: Wisdom Import

Chris@42:

int fftw_import_system_wisdom(void);
Chris@42: int fftw_import_wisdom_from_filename(const char *filename);
Chris@42: int fftw_import_wisdom_from_string(const char *input_string);
Chris@42: int fftw_import_wisdom(int (*read_char)(void *), void *data);
Chris@42:

These functions import wisdom into a program from data stored by the Chris@42: fftw_export_wisdom functions above. (See Words of Wisdom-Saving Plans.) The imported wisdom replaces any wisdom Chris@42: already accumulated by the running program. Chris@42:

fftw_import_wisdom imports wisdom from any input medium, as Chris@42: specified by the callback function read_char. read_char is Chris@42: a getc-like function that returns the next character in the Chris@42: input; its parameter is the data pointer passed to Chris@42: fftw_import_wisdom. If the end of the input data is reached Chris@42: (which should never happen for valid data), read_char should Chris@42: return EOF (as defined in <stdio.h>). For convenience, Chris@42: the following three “wrapper” routines are provided: Chris@42:

fftw_import_wisdom_from_filename reads wisdom from a file named Chris@42: filename. A lower-level function, which requires you to open Chris@42: and close the file yourself (e.g. if you want to read wisdom from a Chris@42: portion of a larger file) is fftw_import_wisdom_from_file. This Chris@42: reads wisdom from the current position in input_file (which Chris@42: should be open with read permission); upon exit, the file remains Chris@42: open, but the position of the read pointer is unspecified. Chris@42:

fftw_import_wisdom_from_string reads wisdom from the Chris@42: NULL-terminated string input_string. Chris@42:

fftw_import_system_wisdom reads wisdom from an Chris@42: implementation-defined standard file (/etc/fftw/wisdom on Unix Chris@42: and GNU systems). Chris@42: Chris@42:

The return value of these import routines is 1 if the wisdom was Chris@42: read successfully and 0 otherwise. Note that, in all of these Chris@42: functions, any data in the input stream past the end of the wisdom data Chris@42: is simply ignored. Chris@42:
