Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Convert binary file to csv and then back to the binary format Post 302747563 by DGPickett on Friday 21st of December 2012 03:33:29 PM

It is at the top of your C file. A struct is a structure of data, and the file seems to be a pile of structures, except an empty structure is legal. The binary image has a structure count at the front, and then each structure has a length, and if it is zero, that structure is empty. There may be other flags in the structure to identify what is in the length. The confusing thing is all the #define type stuff in the structure definition, which is most of the file. I might be good to make a preprocessed file (cc -E) where that stuff is resolved. Once you have the C, you may find it is easier enough to get configuration from some other file type. XML is also popular for C++/JAVA to represent objects in collection objects ad infinitim.

Many fine C tutorials online for free, and gcc is free, too.

Syntax
       #include <xti.h>

       int t_free(ptr, struct_type)
       char *ptr;
       int struct_type;

Arguments
       ptr	 Points to one of the seven structure types described for

       struct_type
		 Identifies the type of that structure, which must be one of the following:

		 T_BIND_STR	     struct    t_bind;
		 T_CALL_STR	     struct    t_call
		 T_OPTMGMT_STR	     struct    t_optmgmt
		 T_DIS_STR	     struct    t_discon
		 T_UNITDATA_STR struct	  t_unitdata
		 T_UDERROR_STR	     struct    t_uderr
		 T_INFO_STR	     struct    t_info

		 Each of these structures is used as an argument to one or more transport functions.

Description
       The  function frees memory previously allocated by This function frees memory for the specified structure and also frees memory for buffers
       referenced by the structure.

       ---------------------------------------
       Parameters    Before Call   After Call
       ---------------------------------------
       ptr	     x		   /

       The function checks the addr, opt, and udata fields of the given structure (as appropriate) and free the buffers  pointed  to  by  the  buf
       field  of the netbuf structure.	If buf is NULL, does not attempt to free memory.  After all buffers are freed, frees the memory associated
       with the structure pointed to by ptr.

       Results are undefined if ptr or any of the buf pointers points to a block of memory not previously allocated by

Return Values
       Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. On failure,  a value of -1 is returned, and t_errno is set to indicate the error.

       On failure, t_errno is set to one of the following:

       [TNOTSUPPORT]	   This function is not supported by the current implementation of XTI.

       [TSYSERR]	   A system error has occurred during execution of this function.
