17 /* Casereader client interface.
19 A casereader abstracts interfaces through which cases may be
20 read. A casereader may be a front-end for a system file, a
21 portable file, the active file in a data set, or anything else
22 on which a casereader interface has been overlaid. Casereader
23 layering, in which a casereader acts as a filter or translator
24 on top of another casereader, is also supported.
26 There is no central interface for obtaining casereaders: a
27 casereader for reading a system file is obtained from the
28 system file reading module, and so on. Once a casereader has
29 been obtained, by whatever means, the interface to it is
30 uniform. The most important functions for casereader usage
33 - casereader_read: Reads a case from the casereader. The
34 case is consumed and cannot be read again. The caller is
35 responsible for destroying the case.
37 - casereader_clone: Makes a copy of a casereader. May be
38 used to read one or a set of cases from a casereader
41 - casereader_destroy: Destroys a casereader.
43 Casereaders can encounter error conditions, such as I/O
44 errors, as they read cases. Error conditions prevent any more
45 cases from being read from the casereader. Error conditions
46 are reported by casereader_error. Error condition may be
47 propagated to or from a casereader with taint_propagate using
48 the casereader's taint object, which may be obtained with
49 casereader_get_taint. */
