Function Documentation

void Error (  bool  condition, char *  message, char *  a1 )

void Error (  bool  condition, char *  message )

If condition is true, print message and exit.

FILE* FileOpen (  char *  fileName, char *  mode )

Open a file, print an advisory message if the open fails.

char* GetLine (  FILE *  fp  )

Read line from a file, return a pointer to the contents of the line. Notes: 1. Returns pointer to a static buffer that is overwritten when the function is called again, or when GetTreeLine is called. 2. Reads up to MAX_LINE chars. 3. Returns NULL pointer at end-of-file.

bool HasDigits (  char *  s  )

Return true if this string has any digits.

bool IsNormalChar (  char  c  )

True if char is alpha, numeric, or '-'.

void Mesg (  char *  message, int  a1 )

void Mesg (  char *  message, char *  a1 )

void Mesg (  char *  message  )

Print a message to stderr.

void PrintNumber (  double  d  )

Print a number, in a nice format.

void Sort (  void *  array[], int  size, int(*)(void *, void *)  compare )

In-place quicksort of an array of pointers. Sort() performs an in-place quicksort. compare must be a pointer to a function that takes 2 void * arguments, and returns 0 if they are equal, >0 if the first arg is greater, and <0 if first arg is less.

void StrLower (  char *  p  )

Force all chars in string to lower case.
