These functions import wisdom into a program from data stored by the
<code>fftw_export_wisdom</code> functions above. (See <a href="Words-of-Wisdom_002dSaving-Plans.html#Words-of-Wisdom_002dSaving-Plans">Words of Wisdom-Saving Plans</a>.) The imported wisdom replaces any wisdom
already accumulated by the running program.
<p><code>fftw_import_wisdom</code> imports wisdom from any input medium, as
specified by the callback function <code>read_char</code>. <code>read_char</code> is
a <code>getc</code>-like function that returns the next character in the
input; its parameter is the <code>data</code> pointer passed to
<code>fftw_import_wisdom</code>. If the end of the input data is reached
(which should never happen for valid data), <code>read_char</code> should
return <code>EOF</code> (as defined in <code><stdio.h></code>). For convenience,
the following three “wrapper” routines are provided:
<p><code>fftw_import_wisdom_from_filename</code> reads wisdom from a file named
<code>filename</code>. A lower-level function, which requires you to open
and close the file yourself (e.g. if you want to read wisdom from a
portion of a larger file) is <code>fftw_import_wisdom_from_file</code>. This
reads wisdom from the current position in <code>input_file</code> (which
should be open with read permission); upon exit, the file remains
open, but the position of the read pointer is unspecified.
<p><code>fftw_import_wisdom_from_string</code> reads wisdom from the
<code>NULL</code>-terminated string <code>input_string</code>.
<p><code>fftw_import_system_wisdom</code> reads wisdom from an
implementation-defined standard file (<code>/etc/fftw/wisdom</code> on Unix
and GNU systems).
<a name="index-wisdom_002c-system_002dwide-287"></a>
<p>The return value of these import routines is <code>1</code> if the wisdom was
read successfully and <code>0</code> otherwise. Note that, in all of these
functions, any data in the input stream past the end of the wisdom data
is simply ignored.
