* GIO.H defs for Generic I/O Speed Up Package. 01/06/86
* See GIOCall.C for an example of usage.
* Read not speeded-up yet. Only one Write file buffered at a time.
* Note: The speed-up provided is ONLY significant for code such as IFF
* which does numerous small Writes and Seeks.
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Use this file interface in place of ALL Open,Close,Read,Write,Seek DOS
* calls for an optional i/o speed-up via buffering. You must use ONLY
* these G routines for a file that is being buffered; e.g., call GClose
* to Close the file, etc.
* It is harmless though not necessary to use G routines for a file that
* is not being buffered; e.g., GClose and Close are equivalent in that
* case.
* This Version only buffers one file at a time, and only for writing.
* If you call GWriteDeclare for a second file before the first file
* is GClosed, the first file becomes unbuffered. This is harmless, no
* data is lost, the first file is simply no longer speeded-up.
*/
/* Before compiling any modules that make G calls, or compiling gio.c,
* you must set the GIO_ACTIVE flag below.
*
* To omit the speed-up code,
* #define GIO_ACTIVE 0
*
* To make the speed-up happen:
* 1. #define GIO_ACTIVE 1
* 2. link gio.o into your program
* 3. GWriteDeclare(file, buffer, size)
* after f
GOpening the file and before doing
* any writing.
* 4. ONLY use GRead, GWrite, GSeek, GClose -- do not use the DOS i/o
* routines directly.
