       SoInput -

       The SoInput class is an abstraction of file import functionality.

       This class takes care of most of the chores of doing data import in Coin. It puts a layer

Detailed Description

       The SoInput class is an abstraction of file import functionality.

       This class takes care of most of the chores of doing data import in Coin. It puts a layer
       of abstraction over the read operations to make it transparent for the rest of the Coin
       code whether or not we're reading from a file, from a memory buffer or from stdin.

       SoInput also takes care of checking file validity, aswell as handling information about
       features in the various file formats which are supported.

       Example usage:

       int
       main(void)
       {
         SoDB::init();

         SoInput in;
         if (in.openFile("fab_model.iv")) {
           SoSeparator * root = SoDB::readAll(&in);
           if (root) {
             // Do stuff with the imported scene graph here
             // ...
             return 0;
           }
         }

         return 1;
       }

       Important note: there are several public and protected methods which makes it possible to
       pass in or get returned FILE* structures in this class. Do not use these methods when the
       Coin library has been compiled as an MSWindows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or
       forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic
       limitation for MSWindows DLLs.

       This class supports one environment variable called COIN_SOINPUT_SEARCH_GLOBAL_DICT. When
       set to '1', the global dictionary is searched after the current file dictionary when
       resolving USE keywords. This makes it possible to reference nodes in other files. The
       reason for introducing this feature is that the SoFile node rereads the file whenever the
       name field changes. The first time the file is read, it's possible to reference nodes in
       the parent file, using the USE keyword. But, when the file is reread this is no longer
       possible, since the reading now starts at the SoFile node, with an empty dictionary.

Member Function Documentation

   SoProto * SoInput::findProto (const SbName &name)
       Searches for PROTO named name. This function will only return PROTOs that have been read
       by the current SoInput instance.

       Since:
           Coin 2.3

   void SoInput::addProto (SoProto *proto)
       Adds a Proto which should be active in the current scope.

       This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open
       Inventor v2.1 API.

       Since:
           Coin 2.0

   void SoInput::pushProto (SoProto *proto)
       Pushed a Proto onto the Proto stack. The Proto stack is used during VRML2 file parsing.

       This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open
       Inventor v2.1 API.

   void SoInput::addRoute (const SbName &fromnode, const SbName &fromfield, const SbName &tonode,
       const SbName &tofield)
       Adds a ROUTE from /a fromnode's , to tonode's tofield. This makes it possible to defines
       ROUTEs in files before the fromnode or tonode is parsed.

       This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open
       Inventor v2.1 API.

       Since:
           Coin 2.0

   SbBool SoInput::checkISReference (SoFieldContainer *container, const SbName &fieldname, SbBool
       &readok)
       Checks if the next bytes in in is the IS keyword. Returns TRUE if the IS keyword was
       found, readok will be set to FALSE if some error occured while searching for the IS
       keyword.

       This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open
       Inventor v2.1 API.

       Since:
           Coin 2.0

   void SoInput::setFilePointer (FILE *newFP) [virtual]
       Uses the given file pointer as the input file. The input stack of files will be emptied
       first. Closing a file passed in by it's file pointer is the library user's responsibility.

       Important note: do not use this method when the Coin library has been compiled as an
       MSWindows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most
       likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic limitation for MSWindows DLLs.

       Note that it is not allowed to pass a FILE* to a gzip-compressed file under Mac OS X.

       See Also:
           openFile(), closeFile()

   SbBool SoInput::openFile (const char *fileName, SbBoolokIfNotFound = FALSE) [virtual]
       Open the given file, and make it the only one in the file stack. If okIfNotFound is FALSE,
       show a warning message if the file could not be opened.

       Returns TRUE if file could be opened for reading, FALSE otherwise.

       Note: even if your attempt at opening a file is unsuccessful, the SoInput instance will
       not default to reading from stdin after a call has been made to this method.

       See Also:
           setFilePointer(), pushFile(), closeFile()

   SbBool SoInput::pushFile (const char *filename) [virtual]
       Push a new file on top of the stack. Further read operations will take place with the new
       file until it reaches end-of-file, upon when the file will be popped of the stack and
       we'll continue with the next file in the stack.

       Returns TRUE if the file could be opened for reading, FALSE otherwise.

       See Also:
           openFile()

   void SoInput::closeFile (void) [virtual]
       Removes all files from the internal stack. Any files opened by openFile() or pushFile()
       will also be closed, but not the files coming from setFilePointer() -- which are the
       responsibility of the caller.

       You usually don't need to call this method explicitly, as it will automatically be
       triggered by the SoInput destructor to close any open files when the SoInput instance goes
       out of scope.

       See Also:
           setFilePointer(), openFile(), pushFile()

   SbBool SoInput::isValidFile (void) [virtual]
       Checks to see if the current file is a valid file which can be read by the Coin library.

       When reading files through e.g. SoDB::readAll(), this is automatically checked for you, so
       application code should usually not need to use this method.

   SbBool SoInput::isValidBuffer (void) [virtual]
       Returns TRUE if the current text buffer represents a valid iv-file which can be read by
       the Coin library.

       When reading files through e.g. SoDB::readAll(), this is automatically checked for you, so
       application code should usually not need to use this method.

   FILE * SoInput::getCurFile (void) const [virtual]
       Returns file pointer of the file on top of the input stack. If the 'file' is actually a
       memory buffer, returns NULL.

       Important note: do not use this method when the Coin library has been compiled as an
       MSWindows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most
       likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic limitation for MSWindows DLLs.

       See Also:
           getCurFileName()

   const char * SoInput::getCurFileName (void) const [virtual]
       Returns the name of the file on top of the input stack. NULL will be returned if the
       toplevel 'file' is a memory buffer.

       See Also:
           getCurFile()

   void SoInput::setBuffer (const void *bufpointer, size_tbufsize) [virtual]
       Sets up the input stream for reading from a memory buffer. Closes all open files in the
       file stack first.

       In the original SGI Inventor API this method was designed as 'char * bufpointer', Coin
       followed this until Coin 3, but changed the signature to const from Coin 4.0.

   void SoInput::setStringArray (const char *strings[])
       Sets up the input stream for reading from the strings pointed to by a NULL-terminated
       array of string pointers. It is intended for reading memory-inlined scene graphs.

       The rationale for this function is that there is a compiler portability problem with
       compiling large, static string buffers. Some compilers have fixed max-lengths on this
       feature, just over 1KB, which obviously becomes a problem real fast. This method lets you
       specify the buffer as an array of smaller string buffers, typically one string for each
       line in the Inventor file.

       makeSceneGraph(void) {

           "#Inventor V2.1 ascii0,
           "0,
           "Separator {0,
           "  Cube {0,
           "  }0,
           "}0,
           NULL
         };
         SoInput in;
         if ( !in.setStringArray(inlinescenegraph) ) return NULL;
         return SoDB::readAll(&in);
       }

       Inventor v2.1 API.

   size_t SoInput::getNumBytesRead (void) const [virtual]
       Returns number of bytes read so far from the current file or memory buffer. You can only
       use this method while you're reading the file. When the reading has finished, the current
       file is popped off the file stack, and a more or less random number is returned. You
       should use the stat() system call to find the size of a file (or fseek() and ftell()).

   SbString SoInput::getHeader (void) [virtual]
       Returns header of current file.

   float SoInput::getIVVersion (void) [virtual]
       Returns the library version needed to read a file with the given header. If the header of
       the current file is not valid, this method returns 0.0f.

   SbBool SoInput::isBinary (void) [virtual]
       Returns TRUE if the current file is in binary format.

   SbBool SoInput::get (char &c) [virtual]
       Get next character in current stream. Returns FALSE on end of file.

       See Also:
           read()

   SbBool SoInput::getASCIIBuffer (char &c) [virtual]
       Returns next character in current stream. Don't use this method -- SoInput is supposed to
       hide whether or not you are reading from file or memory. It is only included for
       compatibility reasons.

   SbBool SoInput::getASCIIFile (char &c) [virtual]
       Returns next character in current stream. Don't use this method -- SoInput is supposed to
       hide whether or not you are reading from file or memory. It is only included for
       compatibility reasons.

   SbBool SoInput::readHex (uint32_t &l) [virtual]
       Reads an unsigned integer in hexidecimal format from the current stream. Note that no
       error checking is done to see if it actually is a hex format value.

       A number in hexadecimal format must have the '0x' prefix.

       Returns FALSE if end of file is encountered.

   SbBool SoInput::read (char &c) [virtual]
       Skips whitespace and reads next character in input stream. Returns FALSE if encountering
       end of file.

   SbBool SoInput::read (char &c, SbBoolskip) [virtual]
       Reads next character in input stream, returns FALSE if encountering end of file. If skip
       is TRUE, skips whitespace before reading a character.

   SbBool SoInput::read (SbString &s) [virtual]
       Skips whitespace and extracts string. A string can be placed within quotes, in which case
       we will return all characters between the quotes (including spaces, tabs, newlines, etc).
       A quote character (i.e. "'') can also be part of the string, but must then be preceded by
       a\'' character.

       A string not contained in quotes is terminated by the first following whitespace
       character.

       Returns FALSE upon encountering end of file (EOF) before the string is fully parsed, or
       any other error. Note: This function does not return FALSE when encountering all EOFs.
       When multiple files are on the stack and a string is being parsed (the parser has found
       one or more valid characters) and EOF is encountered, the parsing stops and the read
       string along with TRUE is returned. The next time the read method is called, the stack is
       popped and a read string from the next file is returned - not always returning FALSE
       between the files (though it might on certain circumstances). The solution to this is to
       test for end of file after each successive read operation.

   SbBool SoInput::read (SbName &n, SbBoolvalidIdent = FALSE) [virtual]
       Read a name from the current stream and place it in n.

       This method should not be used specifically to read all instances of SbName. The semantics
       of the interface is such that it is designed to handle identifier tokens from the Inventor
       / VRML file formats. I.e. cases where node names, node types and field names are to be
       read. If your goal is to read the value of a SbName field that is not any of the above,
       and at least when the string might be quoted, then you should most likely use
       SoInput::read(SbString &) instead.

       If validIdent is TRUE the name needs to be a valid identifier (no reserved characters
       etc), while validIdent equal to FALSE means we'll just read characters for the next word
       until we hit whitespace or one of the '{'/'}' delimiters.

       Returns FALSE on encountering end of file before a full name has been read -- if
       validIdent is also FALSE. If validIdent is passed as TRUE, the return value will be FALSE
       if no valid name was found, but not necessarily on end of file.

   SbBool SoInput::read (int &i) [virtual]
       Read integer from current file or buffer position and place it in i. Returns FALSE if we
       hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::read (unsigned int &i) [virtual]
       Read unsigned integer from current file or buffer position and place it in i. Returns
       FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::read (short &s) [virtual]
       Read short integer from current file or buffer position and place it in s. Returns FALSE
       if we hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::read (unsigned short &s) [virtual]
       Read unsigned short integer from current file or buffer position and place it in s.
       Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::read (float &f) [virtual]
       Read float value from current file or buffer position and place it in f. Returns FALSE if
       we hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::read (double &d) [virtual]
       Read double value from current file or buffer position and place it in d. Returns FALSE if
       we hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::readByte (int8_t &b) [virtual]
       Read signed byte integer from current file or buffer position and place it in b. Returns
       FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::readByte (uint8_t &b) [virtual]
       Read unsigned byte integer from current file or buffer position and place it in b. Returns
       FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

   SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (unsigned char *c, intlength) [virtual]
       Reads length characters from the current stream into c. Returns FALSE if end of file is
       encountered before the given number of bytes could be read.

   SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (int32_t *l, intlength) [virtual]
       Reads length 32-bit integers from the current stream into l. Returns FALSE if end of file
       is encountered before the given number of integers could be read.

   SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (float *f, intlength) [virtual]
       Reads length floats from the current stream into f. Returns FALSE if end of file is
       encountered before the given number of binary float values could be read.

   SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (double *d, intlength) [virtual]
       Reads length double floats from the current stream into d. Returns FALSE if end of file is
       encountered before the given number of binary double float values could be read.

   SbBool SoInput::eof (void) const [virtual]
       Returns TRUE if we are at the end of the current stream, otherwise FALSE.

   SbBool SoInput::isFileVRML1 (void)
       Returns TRUE if current file is a VRML V1.0 file.

       This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open
       Inventor v2.1 API.

   SbBool SoInput::isFileVRML2 (void)
       Returns TRUE if current file is a VRML 2 / VRML97 file.

       This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open
       Inventor v2.1 API.

   void SoInput::resetFilePointer (FILE *fptr) [virtual]
       This function has been obsoleted in Coin.

   SoBase * SoInput::findReference (const SbName &name) const [virtual]
       Finds an SoBase derived object which has been mapped to name earlier during the import
       process.

       The Coin library will by default only search through the previously loaded nodes from the
       same file. By setting the environment variable COIN_SOINPUT_SEARCH_GLOBAL_DICT to '1', you
       can force the import process to search for USE-references through all nodes that has been
       loaded or otherwise instantiated.

       See Also:
           addReference(), removeReference()

   void SoInput::addDirectoryFirst (const char *dirName) [static]

       [static]
       Add in front of the list all directories in the environment variable envVarName. The
       separator string should contain all characters to be interpreted as separators in the
       environment variable string list. The default separators are ':', tab and space.

   void SoInput::removeDirectory (const char *dirName) [static]
       Remove the given directory from the directory search list.

       The search list is scanned from last to first for the directory name, so directories can
       easily be 'stacked' by pushing with addDirectoryLast() and then removed with this method.

   const SbStringList & SoInput::getDirectories (void) [static]
       Returns the list of directories which'll be searched upon loading Coin and VRML format
       files. Directory searches will be done whenever any external references appears in a file,
       for instance to texture images.

       Finds and returns the part of the given filename which is the base name (i.e. the filename
       without the leading directory path).

   SbString SoInput::getBasename (const SbString &s) [static]
       Finds and returns the part of the given filename which is the base name (i.e. the filename
       without the leading directory path).

   SbString SoInput::searchForFile (const SbString &basename, const SbStringList &directories,
       const SbStringList &subdirectories) [static]
       Given a basename for a file and an array of directories to search, returns the full name
       of the file found.

       In addition to looking at the root of each directory in directories, all subdirectories is
       also searched for each item in directories.

       If no file matching basename could be found in any of the directories, returns an empty
       string.

       This method is a Coin extension, not part of the original Inventor API.

   SbBool SoInput::popFile (void) [protected],  [virtual]
       Pop the topmost file off the stack. Returns FALSE if there was no files on the stack to
       pop. A file is only popped when there is more than one file on the stack.

       See Also:
           pushFile(), openFile(), closeFile()

   void SoInput::setIVVersion (floatversion) [protected]
       Changes the file format version number for the stream at the top of the stack.

   FILE * SoInput::findFile (const char *basename, SbString &fullname) [protected]
       This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of
       interest to the application programmer.

       Return the currently active stream.

       Scan through the include directories in order and try to find a file with the given name
       in any one of them. If file is found, put the full name with complete path from current
       directory of process into fullname, open the file and return the file pointer.

       If the file could either not be found or not opened for reading, return NULL.

       Important note: do not use this method when the Coin library has been compiled as an
       MSWindows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most
       likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic limitation for MSWindows DLLs.

       SbBoolopenedHere, SbDict *refDict = NULL) [protected]
       This function has been obsoleted in Coin.

   SbBool SoInput::checkHeader (SbBoolbValidateBufferHeader = FALSE) [protected]
       Returns TRUE if the current stream has had it's header parsed. If it hasn't, this method
       will attempt to read the header and returns TRUE if it could be done.

       If bValidateBufferHeader is TRUE, the returned flag will also be FALSE if the file stream
       header was not of a supported file format type.

   SbBool SoInput::fromBuffer (void) const [protected]
       Returns TRUE if the current input stream is fetching data from a memory buffer, or FALSE
       if the input is from a file.

   SbBool SoInput::skipWhiteSpace (void) [protected]
