irheostream, orheostream - large data streams

This class provides a stream interface for large data management. File decompresion is assumed using gzip and a recursive search in a directory list is provided for input.



     orheostream foo("NAME", "suffix");
is like 



     ofstream foo("NAME.suffix").
However, if NAME does not end with `.suffix', then `.suffix' is automatically added. By default, compression is performed on the fly with gzip, adding an additional `.gz' suffix. The flush action is nicely handled in compression mode: 



     foo.flush();
This feature allows intermediate results to be available during long computations. The compression can be deactivated while opening a file by an optional argument: 



     orheostream foo("NAME", "suffix", io::nogz);
An existing compressed file can be reopen in append mode: new results will be appended at the end of an existing file: 



     orheostream foo("NAME", "suffix", io::app);

Conversely,



        irheostream foo("NAME","suffix");
is like 



        ifstream foo("NAME.suffix").
However, we look at a search path environment variable RHEOPATH in order to find NAME while suffix is assumed. Moreover, gzip compressed files, ending with the `.gz' suffix is assumed, and decompression is done.

Finally, a set of useful functions are provided.

The following code:



        irheostream is("results", "data");
will recursively look for a `results[.data[.gz]]' file in the directory mentioned by the RHEOPATH environment variable.

For instance, if you insert in our ".cshrc" something like:



        setenv RHEOPATH ".:/home/dupont:/usr/local/math/demo"
the process will study the current directory `.', then, if neither `square.data.gz' nor `square.data' exits, it scan all subdirectory of the current directory. Then, if file is not founded, it start recusively in `/home/dupond' and then in `/usr/local/math/demo'.

File decompression is performed by using the gzip command, and data are pipe-lined directly in memory.

If the file start with `.' as `./square' or with a `/' as `/home/oscar/square', no search occurs and RHEOPATH environment variable is not used.

Also, if the environment variable RHEOPATH is not set, the default value is the current directory `.'.

For output stream:



        orheostream os("newresults", "data");
file compression is assumed, and "newresults.data.gz" will be created.

File loading and storing are mentioned by a message, either:



        ! load "./results.data.gz"
or: 



        ! file "./newresults.data.gz" created.
on the clog stream. By adding the following: 



        clog << noverbose;
you turn off these messages
(see iorheo(4)).
