FORTRAN 77 BINDINGS FOR GETDATA
===============================

This README describes the Fortran 77 bindings for the GetData library.  These
bindings consist of a Fortran compatibility library `libfgetdata' (written in
C) and a Fortran 77 source file `getdata.f' which defines useful Fortran
parameters and declares the external subroutines.

These bindings are designed to comply to the Fortran 77 standards.  As a result,
identifiers are limited to six characters.   The compatibility library will
take care of converting Fortran CHARACTER stings to C strings.  However, as a
result, when strings are passed to the compatibility library as arguments, the
length of the string must also be passed.

Because Fortran 77 handles neither pointers nor abstract data types, DIRFILE
pointers are not used to refer to dirfile instances.  Instead, an integer
dirfile unit number is used.  Space is available in the compatibility library
for only 1023 dirfile units.  If an application attempts to open more than 1023
dirfiles simultaneously, the compatibility library will emit an error message
on standard error and raise SIGABRT.  Passing an invalid dirfile unit number to
a subroutines which requires one as input (other than GDCLOS, which will simply
ignore it) will result in the call failing with error code GD_EBD
(= GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE, see below).

Including getdata.f (which will be installed in the same directory as getdata.h)
will define several convenient parameters including the DIRFILE flags, the data
type specifiers, and error codes.  See below for a complete list.  If your
Fortran 77 compiler supports the MIL STD 1753 (DoD Extension) INCLUDE statement
(which any remotely modern compiler should), you can include this file in your
Fortran program to define these constants.

All integer type parameters passed to the compatibility library are of type
INTEGER (i.e. the native size of the platform).  As a result, largefile support
will not be available in the Fortran 77 bindings on a 32-bit system.

All character string arguments require also an integer indicating the size of
the character buffer.  In cases where the bindings return a string value, the
value will not be returned if the string length supplied is too short.  In
these cases, the character string will be left untouched, but the integer
indicating the string length will be updated to indicate the required string
length.  The exception to this is GDESTR, which simply truncates the string
it outputs, as the C API does.

Available Subroutines
=====================

Subroutines interacting with the database
-----------------------------------------

* GDOPEN(dirfile_unit, dirfilename, dirfilename_len, flags)
  
  Output:
    INTEGER dirfile_unit
  Input:
    INTEGER dirfilename_len, flags
    CHARACTER*<dirfilename_len> dirfilename

  This wraps dirfile_open(3), with the same input arguments (dirfilename_len
  should contain the string length of dirfilename).  It returns the dirfile
  unit number in dirfile_unit.  The flags should be a bitwise "or"d list of flag
  parameters (see below).  This behaves analogously to dirfile_open() itself:
  it returns a valid dirfile unit even in case of error.

* GDCOPN(dirfile_unit, dirfilename, dirfilename_len, flags, sehandler)

  Output:
    INTEGER dirfile_unit
  Input:
    INTEGER dirfilename_len, flags
    CHARACTER*<dirfilename_len> dirfilename
    EXTERNAL sehandler

  This wraps dirfile_cbopen(3), and behaves identically to GDOPEN, except for
  requiring the name of the callback subroutine as sehandler.  The callback
  subroutine should accept the following arguments:

    SUBROUTINE CALBCK(act, dirfile_unit, suberror, line)
    INTEGER act, dirfile_unit, suberror
    CHARACTER*(GD_MLL) line

  where GD_MLL is a integer parameter, defined in getdata.f, equal to the
  value of the C macro GD_MAX_LINE_LENGTH.  The callback subroutine may modify
  line, and should set act to one of the syntax handler action parameters (see
  below).  If the callback subroutine fails to set act, the default action
  (GDSX_A = GD_SYNTAX_ABORT) will be assumed.  The possible values of suberror
  are also listed below.  If GDCOPN is passed zero as sehandler, no callback is
  set.

  The callback subroutine is wrapped by the Fortran 77 library to properly
  interface with GetData.  Other than GDCOPN, the only other subroutine which
  potentially could cause the callback subroutine to be called is GDINCL.  Use
  GDCLBK to change the callback function before calling GDINCL, if required.

* GDCLOS(dirfile_unit)

  Input:
    INTEGER dirfile_unit

  This wraps dirfile_close(3).  The argument is the dirfile unit to close.
  In addition to closing the dirfile itself, this will also disassociate the
  supplied dirfile unit number, which may be subsequently returned by a
  subsequent call to GDOPEN.

* GDDSCD(dirfile_unit)

  Input:
    INTEGER dirfile_unit

  This wraps dirfile_discard(3), but otherwise behaves identically to GDCLOS.

* GDFLSH(dirfile_unit, field_code, field_code_len)

  Input:
    INTEGER dirfile_unit, field_code_len
    CHARACTER*<field_code_len> field_code

  This wraps dirfile_flush(3).  If field_code_len is zero, the entire dirfile
  will be flushed, and field_code will be ignored.  Otherwise the field named
  by field_code will be flushed.

* GDMFLS(dirfile_unit)

  Input:
    INTEGER dirfile_unit

  This subroutine wraps dirfile_metaflush(3), and will cause metadata changes to
  be written to disk.

  This wraps getdata(3), with the same input arguments (field_code_len should
  contain the string length of the field_code).  The number of samples actually
  read is returned in n_read.  The return_type parameter should be one of the
  parameters defined in getdata.f (see below).  data_out must be of sufficient
  length and of appropriate data type width for the data returned.

* GDGTCO(n_read, dirfile_unit, field_code, field_code_len, return_type,
  data_out)

  Output:

  This wraps get_constant(3), with the same input arguments (field_code_len
  should contain the string length of the field_code).  If the call is
  successful, n_read will be non-zero.  The return_type parameter should be one
  of the parameters defined in getdata.f.  data_out must be of appropriate data
  type width for the data returned.

    <datatype>*<n> data_out

  This wraps putdata(3), with the same input arguments (field_code_len should
  contain the string length of the field_code).  The number of samples actually
  written is returned in n_wrote.  The data_type parameter should be one of the
  parameters defined in getdata.f.  data_in must be of sufficient length and
  of appropriate data type width for the data input.

  This wraps put_constant(3), with the same input arguments (field_code_len
  should contain the string length of the field_code).  If the call is
  successful, n_wrote will be non-zero.  The data_type parameter should be one
  of the parameters defined in getdata.f.

    CHARACTER*<field_code_len> field_code
    CHARACTER*<len> data_in

  This wraps put_string(3), with the same input arguments (field_code_len should
  contain the string length of the field_code, and len should contain the string
  length of data_in).  The number of characters actually wrote is returned in
  n_wrote.

* GDVLDT(invalid, dirfile_unit, field_code, field_code_len)

  Output:
    INTEGER invalid
  Input:
    INTEGER dirfile_unit, field_code_len

  is longer than name_len it will return the actual length of the field in
  name_len and not modify the name argument.

Data types.  Note, Fortran does not support unsigned data types, but GDGERW may
still return an unsigned type, so all types are defined here.  The unsigned data
type specifiers will be accepted by the other subroutines, but the data returned
may not be properly interpretable by Fortran 77.
