    1.10 +\subsection{glp\_long---64-bit integer data type}
    1.11 +
    1.12 +Some GLPK API routines use 64-bit integer data type, which is declared
    1.13 +in the header \verb|glpk.h| as follows:
    1.14 +
    1.15 +\begin{verbatim}
    1.16 +typedef struct { int lo, hi; } glp_long;
    1.17 +\end{verbatim}
    1.18 +
    1.19 +\noindent
    1.20 +where \verb|lo| contains low 32 bits, and \verb|hi| contains high 32
    1.21 +bits of 64-bit integer value.\footnote{GLPK conforms to ILP32, LLP64,
    1.22 +and LP64 programming models, where the built-in type {\tt int}
    1.23 +corresponds to 32-bit integers.}
    1.24 +
    1.25 +\subsection{glp\_init\_env---initialize GLPK environment}
    1.26 +
    1.27 +\subsubsection*{Synopsis}
    1.28 +

    1.32 +
    1.33 +\subsubsection*{Description}
    1.34 +
    1.35 +The routine \verb|glp_init_env| initializes the GLPK environment.
    1.36 +Normally the application program does not need to call this routine,
    1.37 +because it is called automatically on the first call to any API routine.
    1.38 +
    1.39 +\newpage
    1.40 +
    1.41 +\subsubsection*{Returns}
    1.42 +
    1.43 +The routine \verb|glp_init_env| returns one of the following codes:
    1.44 +
    1.45 +\noindent
    1.46 +0 --- initialization successful;
    1.47 +
    1.48 +\noindent
    1.49 +1 --- environment is already initialized;
    1.50 +
    1.51 +\noindent
    1.52 +2 --- initialization failed (insufficient memory);
    1.53 +
    1.54 +\noindent
    1.55 +3 --- initialization failed (unsupported programming model).

    1.57 +\subsection{glp\_version---determine library version}
    1.58 +
    1.59 +\subsubsection*{Synopsis}
    1.60 +
    1.61 +\begin{verbatim}
    1.62 +const char *glp_version(void);
    1.63 +\end{verbatim}
    1.64 +
    1.65 +\subsubsection*{Returns}
    1.66 +
    1.67 +The routine \verb|glp_version| returns a pointer to a null-terminated
    1.68 +character string, which specifies the version of the GLPK library in
    1.69 +the form \verb|"X.Y"|, where `\verb|X|' is the major version number, and
    1.70 +`\verb|Y|' is the minor version number, for example, \verb|"4.16"|.
    1.71 +
    1.72 +\subsubsection*{Example}
    1.73 +
    1.74 +\begin{footnotesize}
    1.75 +\begin{verbatim}
    1.76 +printf("GLPK version is %s\n", glp_version());
    1.77 +\end{verbatim}
    1.78 +\end{footnotesize}

    1.85 +int glp_free_env(void);
    1.86 +\end{verbatim}
    1.87 +
    1.88 +\subsubsection*{Description}
    1.89 +
    1.90 +The routine \verb|glp_free_env| frees all resources used by GLPK
    1.91 +routines (memory blocks, etc.) which are currently still in use.
    1.92 +
    1.93 +Normally the application program does not need to call this routine,
    1.94 +because GLPK routines always free all unused resources. However, if
    1.95 +the application program even has deleted all problem objects, there
    1.96 +will be several memory blocks still allocated for the internal library
    1.97 +needs. For some reasons the application program may want GLPK to free
    1.98 +this memory, in which case it should call \verb|glp_free_env|.
    1.99 +
   1.100 +Note that a call to \verb|glp_free_env| invalidates all problem objects
   1.101 +which still exist.
   1.102 +
   1.103 +\subsubsection*{Returns}
   1.104 +
   1.105 +The routine \verb|glp_free_env| returns one of the following codes:
   1.106 +
   1.107 +\noindent
   1.108 +0 --- termination successful;
   1.109 +
   1.110 +\noindent
   1.111 +1 --- environment is inactive (was not initialized).

   1.113 +\subsection{glp\_printf---write formatted output to terminal}
   1.114 +
   1.115 +\subsubsection*{Synopsis}
   1.116 +
   1.117 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.118 +void glp_printf(const char *fmt, ...);
   1.119 +\end{verbatim}
   1.120 +
   1.121 +\subsubsection*{Description}
   1.122 +
   1.123 +The routine \verb|glp_printf| uses the format control string
   1.124 +\verb|fmt| to format its parameters and writes the formatted output to
   1.125 +the terminal.
   1.126 +
   1.127 +This routine is a replacement of the standard C function
   1.128 +\verb|printf| and used by all GLPK routines to perform terminal
   1.129 +output. The application program may use \verb|glp_printf| for the same
   1.130 +purpose that allows controlling its terminal output with the routines
   1.131 +\verb|glp_term_out| and \verb|glp_term_hook|.
   1.132 +
   1.133 +\subsection{glp\_vprintf---write formatted output to terminal}
   1.134 +
   1.135 +\subsubsection*{Synopsis}
   1.136 +
   1.137 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.138 +void glp_vprintf(const char *fmt, va_list arg);
   1.139 +\end{verbatim}
   1.140 +
   1.141 +\subsubsection*{Description}
   1.142 +
   1.143 +The routine \verb|glp_vprintf| uses the format control string
   1.144 +\verb|fmt| to format its parameters specified by the list \verb|arg|
   1.145 +and writes the formatted output to the terminal.
   1.146 +
   1.147 +This routine is a replacement of the standard C function
   1.148 +\verb|vprintf| and used by all GLPK routines to perform terminal
   1.149 +output. The application program may use \verb|glp_vprintf| for the same
   1.150 +purpose that allows controlling its terminal output with the routines
   1.151 +\verb|glp_term_out| and \verb|glp_term_hook|.
   1.152 +
   1.153 +\newpage
   1.154 +
   1.155 +\subsection{glp\_term\_out---enable/disable terminal output}
   1.156 +
   1.157 +\subsubsection*{Synopsis}
   1.158 +
   1.159 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.160 +int glp_term_out(int flag);
   1.161 +\end{verbatim}
   1.162 +
   1.163 +\subsubsection*{Description}
   1.164 +
   1.165 +Depending on the parameter flag the routine \verb|glp_term_out| enables
   1.166 +or disables terminal output performed by glpk routines:
   1.167 +
   1.168 +\verb|GLP_ON | --- enable terminal output;
   1.169 +
   1.170 +\verb|GLP_OFF| --- disable terminal output.
   1.171 +
   1.172 +\subsubsection*{Returns}
   1.173 +
   1.174 +The routine \verb|glp_term_out| returns the previous value of the
   1.175 +terminal output flag (\verb|GLP_ON| or \verb|GLP_OFF|).
   1.176 +
   1.177 +\subsection{glp\_term\_hook---intercept terminal output}
   1.178 +
   1.179 +\subsubsection*{Synopsis}
   1.180 +
   1.181 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.182 +void glp_term_hook(int (*func)(void *info, const char *s),
   1.183 +      void *info);
   1.184 +\end{verbatim}
   1.185 +
   1.186 +\subsubsection*{Description}
   1.187 +
   1.188 +The routine \verb|glp_term_hook| installs the user-defined hook routine
   1.189 +to intercept all terminal output performed by GLPK routines.
   1.190 +
   1.191 +%This feature can be used to redirect the terminal output to other
   1.192 +%destination, for example, to a file or a text window.
   1.193 +
   1.194 +The parameter {\it func} specifies the user-defined hook routine. It is
   1.195 +called from an internal printing routine, which passes to it two
   1.196 +parameters: {\it info} and {\it s}. The parameter {\it info} is a
   1.197 +transit pointer specified in corresponding call to the routine
   1.198 +\verb|glp_term_hook|; it may be used to pass some additional information
   1.199 +to the hook routine. The parameter {\it s} is a pointer to the null
   1.200 +terminated character string, which is intended to be written to the
   1.201 +terminal. If the hook routine returns zero, the printing routine writes
   1.202 +the string {\it s} to the terminal in a usual way; otherwise, if the
   1.203 +hook routine returns non-zero, no terminal output is performed.
   1.204 +
   1.205 +To uninstall the hook routine both parameters {\it func} and {\it info}
   1.206 +should be specified as \verb|NULL|.

   1.293 +
   1.294 +\subsubsection*{Description}
   1.295 +
   1.296 +The routine \verb|glp_error| (implemented as a macro) formats its

   1.308 +
   1.309 +\subsubsection*{Description}
   1.310 +
   1.311 +The routine \verb|glp_assert| (implemented as a macro) checks
   1.312 +a logical condition specified by the expression \verb|expr|. If the
   1.313 +condition is true (non-zero), the routine does nothing; otherwise, if
   1.314 +the condition is false (zero), the routine prints an error message and
   1.315 +abnormally terminates the program.
   1.316 +
   1.317 +This routine is a replacement of the standard C function \verb|assert|
   1.318 +and used by all GLPK routines to check program logic. The application
   1.319 +program may use \verb|glp_assert| for the same purpose.

   1.331 +
   1.332 +The routine \verb|glp_error_hook| installs a user-defined hook routine
   1.333 +to intercept abnormal termination.
   1.334 +
   1.335 +The parameter \verb|func| specifies the user-defined hook routine. It
   1.336 +is called from the routine \verb|glp_error| before the latter calls the
   1.337 +abort function to abnormally terminate the application program because
   1.338 +of fatal error. The parameter \verb|info| is a transit pointer,
   1.339 +specified in the corresponding call to the routine
   1.340 +\verb|glp_error_hook|; it may be used to pass some information to the
   1.341 +hook routine.
   1.342 +
   1.343 +To uninstall the hook routine the parameters \verb|func| and \verb|info|
   1.344 +should be specified as \verb|NULL|.
   1.345 +
   1.346 +\subsubsection*{Usage note}
   1.347 +
   1.348 +If the hook routine returns, the application program is abnormally
   1.349 +terminated. To prevent abnormal termnation the hook routine may perform
   1.350 +a global jump using the standard function \verb|longjmp|, in which case
   1.351 +the application program {\it must} call the routine \verb|glp_free_env|.

   1.517 +\section{Plain data file reading routines}
   1.518 +
   1.519 +\subsection{Introduction}
   1.520 +
   1.521 +On developing simple applications to solve optimization problems it is
   1.522 +often needed to read data from plain text files. To do this the standard
   1.523 +C function \verb|fscanf| may be used, however, it is not convenient; for
   1.524 +example, if it scans an integer number according to the format
   1.525 +specification `\verb|%d|', and that number is coded incorrectly,
   1.526 +no diagnostics is provided.
   1.527 +
   1.528 +This section describes a set of GLPK API routines, which may be used in
   1.529 +application programs to simplify reading data from plain text files.
   1.530 +
   1.531 +\subsubsection*{Example 1}
   1.532 +
   1.533 +The following main program reads ten integer numbers from plain text
   1.534 +file \verb|data.txt| and prints their sum.
   1.535 +
   1.536 +\begin{footnotesize}
   1.537 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.538 +/* sdfsamp1.c */
   1.539 +
   1.540 +#include <stdio.h>
   1.541 +#include <stdlib.h>
   1.542 +#include <glpk.h>
   1.543 +
   1.544 +int main(void)
   1.545 +{     glp_data *data;
   1.546 +      int j, num, sum;
   1.547 +      /* open plain data file */
   1.548 +      data = glp_sdf_open_file("data.txt");
   1.549 +      if (data == NULL) exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
   1.550 +      sum = 0;
   1.551 +      for (j = 1; j <= 10; j++)
   1.552 +      {  /* read next integer number */
   1.553 +         num = glp_sdf_read_int(data);
   1.554 +         sum += num;
   1.555 +      }
   1.556 +      printf("sum = %d\n", sum);
   1.557 +      /* close plain data file */
   1.558 +      glp_sdf_close_file(data);
   1.559 +      return 0;
   1.560 +}
   1.561 +
   1.562 +/* eof */
   1.563 +\end{verbatim}
   1.564 +\end{footnotesize}
   1.565 +
   1.566 +The input data are coded in free format. For example, the file
   1.567 +\verb|data.txt| may look like this:
   1.568 +
   1.569 +\begin{footnotesize}
   1.570 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.571 +123 65 432 890 -12 743 895 -7 111 326
   1.572 +\end{verbatim}
   1.573 +\end{footnotesize}
   1.574 +
   1.575 +\noindent
   1.576 +or like this:
   1.577 +
   1.578 +\begin{footnotesize}
   1.579 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.580 +123   65  432  890  -12
   1.581 +743  895   -7  111  326
   1.582 +\end{verbatim}
   1.583 +\end{footnotesize}
   1.584 +
   1.585 +\noindent
   1.586 +If the input data file contains incorrect data, the routine
   1.587 +\verb|glp_sdf_read_int| prints an error message and, if no error
   1.588 +handling is provided by the application program, abnormally terminates
   1.589 +program execution. For example, the file \verb|data.txt| could contain
   1.590 +the following data:
   1.591 +
   1.592 +\begin{footnotesize}
   1.593 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.594 +123   65  432  890  -12
   1.595 +743  895   =7  111  326
   1.596 +\end{verbatim}
   1.597 +\end{footnotesize}
   1.598 +
   1.599 +\noindent
   1.600 +in which case the error message would be the following:
   1.601 +
   1.602 +\begin{footnotesize}
   1.603 +\begin{verbatim}
   1.604 +data.txt:2: cannot convert `=7' to integer
   1.605 +\end{verbatim}
   1.606 +\end{footnotesize}
   1.607 +
   1.608 +\subsubsection*{Example 2}
   1.609 +
   1.610 +As it was said above, by default any attempt to read incorrect data
   1.611 +leads to abnormal termination. However, sometimes it is desirable to
   1.612 +catch such errors. This feature is illustrated by the following main
   1.613 +program, which does the same job as in the previous example.
   1.614 +
   1.615 +\begin{footnotesize}

   1.629 +      data = glp_sdf_open_file("data.txt");
   1.630 +      if (data == NULL)
   1.631 +      {  ret = EXIT_FAILURE;

   1.633 +      }
   1.634 +      /* set up error handling */
   1.635 +      if (setjmp(jump))
   1.636 +      {  ret = EXIT_FAILURE;
   1.637 +         goto done;
   1.638 +      }
   1.639 +      glp_sdf_set_jump(data, jump);
   1.640 +      /* read and process data */
   1.641 +      sum = 0;
   1.642 +      for (j = 1; j <= 10; j++)
   1.643 +      {  /* read next integer number */
   1.644 +         num = glp_sdf_read_int(data);

   1.646 +            glp_sdf_error(data, "integer %d too big\n", num);

   1.648 +            glp_sdf_warning(data, "integer %d is negative\n", num);
   1.649 +         sum += num;
   1.650 +      }
   1.651 +      printf("sum = %d\n", sum);
   1.652 +      ret = EXIT_SUCCESS;
   1.653 +done: /* close plain data file */
   1.654 +      if (data != NULL) glp_sdf_close_file(data);
   1.655 +      return ret;

   1.676 +

   1.681 +the operation failed, the routine prints an error message and returns
   1.682 +\verb|NULL|.
   1.683 +
   1.684 +\subsubsection*{Note}
   1.685 +
   1.686 +The application program should use the pointer returned by the routine
