Function Documentation

ex_get_info()

int ex_get_info	(	int	exoid,
		char **	info
	)

The function ex_get_info() reads information records from the database. The records are MAX_LINE_LENGTH-character strings. Memory must be allocated for the information records before this call is made. The number of records can be determined by invoking ex_inquire() or ex_inquire_int().

Returns

In case of an error, ex_get_info() returns a negative number; a warning will return a positive number. Possible causes of errors include:

• data file not properly opened with call to ex_create() or ex_open()
• a warning value is returned if no information records were stored.

Parameters

[in]	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[out]	info	Returned array containing the information records.

The following code segment will determine the number of information records and read them from an open exodus file :

int error, exoid, num_info;
char *info[MAXINFO];

/* read information records */
num_info = ex_inquire_int (exoid,EX_INQ_INFO);
for (i=0; i < num_info; i++) {
   info[i] = (char *) calloc ((MAX_LINE_LENGTH+1), sizeof(char));
}
error = ex_get_info (exoid, info);
