NAME

       scf2read, read2scf, exp2read, read2exp - Translate to and from the Read structure.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Read.h>

       Read *scf2read(
            Scf *scf);

       Scf *read2scf(
            Read *read);

       Exp_info *read2exp(
            Read *read,
            char *EN);

       Read *exp2read(
            Exp_info *e);

DESCRIPTION

       These   functions  are  used  internally  by  the  io  library  for  converting  between  the  in  memory
       representations of the supported file  formats.  The  Read  structure  is  the  central  format  so  only
       conversion to and from this structure is available. Conversions consist of to and from the SCF format and
       to and from the Experiment File format.

       scf2read() converts an Scf structure into a Read structure.  The  Read  structure  is  allocated  by  the
       function. The Scf structure is left unchanged.

       read2scf()  converts  a  Read  structure  into  an  Scf  structure. The Scf structure is allocated by the
       function. The Read structure is left unchanged.

       exp2read() converts an Exp_info structure into a Read structure. The entryname to use in the EN line type
       of  the Experiment File must be specified.  The Read structure is allocated by the function. The Exp_info
       structure is left unchanged.

       read2exp() converts a Read structure into an Exp_info structure. The Exp_info structure is  allocated  by
       the function. The Read structure is left unchanged.

RETURN VALUES

       On  successful  completion,  the  scf2read() and exp2read functions return a pointer to an allocated Read
       structure. Otherwise these functions return NULLRead.

       On successful completion, the read2scf  function  returns  a  pointer  to  an  allocated  Scf  structure.
       Otherwise this function returns a null pointer.

       On  successful  completion,  the  read2exp function returns a pointer to an allocated Exp_info structure.
       Otherwise this function returns a null pointer.
