NAME

       genders_load_data -  read and parse a genders file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <genders.h>

       int genders_load_data(genders_t handle, const char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

       genders_load_data()  read  and parses the genders file indicated by filename.  If filename
       is NULL, genders_load_data() will attempt to read  and  parse  the  default  genders  file
       defined    by    GENDERS_DEFAULT_FILE.   handle   is   a   genders   handle   created   by
       genders_handle_create(3).

       After genders_load_data() is called, information about the genders file is stored  in  the
       genders handle passed in.  This information is used by other genders C API functions.  All
       future use of handle with other genders C API functions will be directly  associated  with
       the genders file indicated by filename (or the default genders file if filename is NULL).

RETURN VALUES

       On  success,  0  is  returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and an error code is returned in
       handle.  The error code can be retrieved via genders_errnum(3) , and a description of  the
       error  code  can  be  retrieved  via  genders_strerror(3).   Error  codes  are  defined in
       genders.h.

ERRORS

       GENDERS_ERR_NULLHANDLE
              The  handle  parameter  is  NULL.   The  genders  handle  must  be   created   with
              genders_handle_create(3).

       GENDERS_ERR_OPEN
              The genders file indicated by filename cannot be opened for reading.

       GENDERS_ERR_READ
              Error reading the genders file indicated by filename.

       GENDERS_ERR_PARSE
              The genders file indicated by filename is incorrectly formatted.

       GENDERS_ERR_ISLOADED
              genders_load_data(3) has already been called with handle.

       GENDERS_ERR_OVERFLOW
              A line in the genders database exceeds the maximum allowed length.

       GENDERS_ERR_OUTMEM
              malloc(3) has failed internally, system is out of memory.

       GENDERS_ERR_MAGIC
              handle has an incorrect magic number.  handle does not point to a genders handle or
              handle has been destroyed by genders_handle_destroy(3).
