NAME

       read_scf, fread_scf, read_scf_header - Read SCF files

SYNOPSIS

       #include <scf.h>

       Scf *read_scf(
            char *fn);

       Scf *fread_scf(
            FILE *fp);

       int read_scf_header(
            FILE *fp,
            Header *h);

DESCRIPTION

       These  functions  read SCF format trace files. All the functions accepting a FILE * as an argument assume
       that the file pointer is at the correct offset within the file.

       read_scf() reads an entire SCF file into the Scf structure (see the scf(4) manual page for the details of
       this structure). The data is read from the specified file name.

       fread_scf()  reads  an entire SCF file into the Scf structure (see the scf(4) manual page for the details
       of this structure). The data is read from the specified file pointer, which is neither closed or  rewound
       after the operation.

       read_scf_header() reads the Header structure from the specified file pointer.

RETURN VALUES

       On  successful  completion, the read_scf() and fread_scf() functions return a pointer to a Scf structure.
       Othewise these functions return a null pointer.

       On successful completion, the read_scf_header() function returns 0.  Otherwise the function returns -1.
