NAME

ms_read_record, ms_parse, ms_write_record - read and write Molecular Surface (ms) records

SYNOPSIS

#include <ms.h>

ms_record ms_read_record(f)

FILE *f;

ms_record ms_parse(line_buffer)

char *line_buffer;

void ms_write_record(f, m)

FILE *f;

ms_record *m;

DESCRIPTION

The routines listed above are subroutines for Molecular Surface record I/O and are available in the pdb library, typically -L/usr/local/midas/lib -lpdb.

Although the header file is too long to reproduce here, it should be perused before using any of the above routines. It is typically found in /usr/local/midas/include.

ms_read_record reads the next line of input from the file f, and returns the contents parsed into a C structure. ms_parse parses the contents of the line buffer and returns a C structure. ms_write_record writes the contents of the MS record (*m) to the file f.

DIAGNOSTICS

Upon reaching the end of the file, ms_read_record will return a record with MS_END as its type.
