read_allocate
read_allocate(3) Staden Package read_allocate(3)
NAME
read_allocate, read_deallocate - Allocate and deallocate the Read structure.
SYNOPSIS
#include <Read.h>
Read *read_allocate(
int num_points,
int num_bases);
void read_deallocate(
Read *read);
DESCRIPTION
These functions create and destroy Read structures. The Read structure is a generalised in-memory data structure used for holding trace
data information.
read_allocate() creates a Read structure large enough to hold num_points trace sample points and num_bases called bases. The allocated data
is then initialised to appropriate defaults, which are mainly zeros and null pointers.
read_deallocate() destroys a previously created Read structure. It is not sufficient to simply use the free() call instead.
RETURN VALUES
On successful completion, the read_allocate() function returns a pointer to a Read structure. Otherwise this function returns a null
pointer.
The read_deallocate() function returns no value.
