DESCRIPTION

This routine reads data contained in a file specified by its name into a new vector that is created dynamically. The length of the new vector is determined by the number of data elements contained in the input file. "file_name" points to a character array specifying the name of the file to read the data from. If the "file_name" argument is NULL, or the first character is null, input is expected from STDIN instead of a file.

RETURNS

A valid pointer to the new vector on success, or NULL on failure, with "kjb_error" set to a descriptive message.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
