Hi again,

I want to select lines in an imaginary rectangle frame whose corners are;

Code:
 Latitude Longitude
37.0000 36.5000
37.5000 36.5000
39.5000 41.0000
39.0000 41.0000
37.0000 36.5000

For example I do not want to line including;
39.0000 38.0000
Because it is not in the rectangle.

I hope I could explain my problem.
Thank you.

NAME
explain_select - explain select(2) errors SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/select.h> #include <libexplain/select.h> const char *explain_select(int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); const char *explain_errno_select(int errnum, int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); void explain_message_select(char *message, int message_size, int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); void explain_message_errno_select(char *message, int message_size, int errnum, int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); DESCRIPTION
These functions may be used to obtain explanations for errors returned by the select(2) system call. explain_select const char *explain_select(int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); The explain_select function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the select(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail. The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be decoded. This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: if (select(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s ", explain_select(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout)); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } nfds The original nfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. readfds The original readfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. writefds The original writefds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. exceptfds The original exceptfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. timeout The original timeout, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. Returns: The message explaining the error. This message buffer is shared by all libexplain functions which do not supply a buffer in their argument list. This will be overwritten by the next call to any libexplain function which shares this buffer, including other threads. Note: This function is not thread safe, because it shares a return buffer across all threads, and many other functions in this library. explain_errno_select const char *explain_errno_select(int errnum, int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); The explain_errno_select function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the select(2) system call. The least the mes- sage will contain is the value of strerror(errnum), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail. This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: if (select(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout) < 0) { int err = errno; fprintf(stderr, "%s ", explain_errno_select(err, nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout)); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } errnum The error value to be decoded, usually obtained from the errno global variable just before this function is called. This is neces- sary if you need to call any code between the system call to be explained and this function, because many libc functions will alter the value of errno. nfds The original nfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. readfds The original readfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. writefds The original writefds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. exceptfds The original exceptfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. timeout The original timeout, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. Returns: The message explaining the error. This message buffer is shared by all libexplain functions which do not supply a buffer in their argument list. This will be overwritten by the next call to any libexplain function which shares this buffer, including other threads. Note: This function is not thread safe, because it shares a return buffer across all threads, and many other functions in this library. explain_message_select void explain_message_select(char *message, int message_size, int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); The explain_message_select function may be used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the select(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail. The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be decoded. This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: if (select(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout) < 0) { char message[3000]; explain_message_select(message, sizeof(message), nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout); fprintf(stderr, "%s ", message); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } message The location in which to store the returned message. If a suitable message return buffer is supplied, this function is thread safe. message_size The size in bytes of the location in which to store the returned message. nfds The original nfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. readfds The original readfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. writefds The original writefds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. exceptfds The original exceptfds, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. timeout The original timeout, exactly as passed to the select(2) system call. explain_message_errno_select void explain_message_errno_select(char *message, int message_size, int errnum, int nfds, fd_set *readfds, fd_set *writefds, fd_set *exceptfds, struct timeval *timeout); The explain_message_errno_select function may be used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the select(2) system call.

This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: if (select(nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout) < 0) { int err = errno; char message[3000]; explain_message_errno_select(message, sizeof(message), err, nfds, readfds, writefds, exceptfds, timeout); fprintf(stderr, "%s ", message); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } message The location in which to store the returned message.
