A simple binary file format for storing vectors of data on disk.

The binVector file format is very simple: the first 8 bytes contain a unit64_t integer which specifies the type of the data. The second 8 bytes contain a uint64_t integer which specifies the length L of the data vector. The remaining L*sizeof(dataT) bytes contain the data.

The suggested extension for BinVector files is ".binv".

Function Documentation

binVectorTypeCode()

template<typename dataT >

binVTypeT mx::ioutils::binVectorTypeCode

(

)

Get the integer type code corresponding to the type.

Returns

an integer which uniquely identifies the type.

Template Parameters

dataT

is the type

readBinVector()

template<typename dataT >

int mx::ioutils::readBinVector	(	std::vector< dataT > &	vec,
		const std::string &	fname
	)

Read a BinVector file from disk.

Note

dataT must match what was stored in the file.

Returns

0 on success.

-1 if an error occurs.

Parameters

[out]	vec	vec is a vector which will be resized and populated.
[in]	fname	fname is the name (full-path) of the file.

writeBinVector()

template<typename dataT >

int mx::ioutils::writeBinVector	(	const std::string &	fname,
		std::vector< dataT > &	vec
	)

Write a BinVector file to disk.

Returns

0 on success.

-1 if an error occurs.

Parameters

[in]	fname	fname is the name (full-path) of the file.
[in]	vec	vec is the vector which will be written to disk.
