DESCRIPTION

This routine reads a vector vector from a file. If the file_name is NULL or a null string, then stdin is assumed. If this is the case, and if the source is not a file (i.e. a pipe), then this routine will fail. In theory, and in parallel with other routines such as read_matrix, several read strategies are tried until one succeeds. However, only one strategy is currently implemented. Specifically we assume that the file is a formatted ascii file, and the vector vector dimensions are deduced from the number of rows and columns (see also fp_read_formatted_vector_vector(3)). The vector vector *result_vvpp is created or resized as necessary. "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 retrieved from STDIN. If STDIN is not a redirected file, an error message will be generated.

RETURNS

Either NO_ERROR, or ERROR, with an appropriate error message being set.

DISCLAIMER

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