21 /*"input_file.c":Operating-system dependant functions to read source files.*/
24 * No matter what the operating system, this module must provide the
25 * following services to its callers.
27 * input_file_begin() Call once before anything else.
29 * input_file_end() Call once after everything else.
31 * input_file_buffer_size() Call anytime. Returns largest possible
32 * delivery from
33 * input_file_give_next_buffer().
35 * input_file_open(name) Call once for each input file.
37 * input_file_give_next_buffer(where) Call once to get each new buffer.
38 * Return 0: no more chars left in file,
39 * the file has already been closed.
40 * Otherwise: return a pointer to just
41 * after the last character we read
42 * into the buffer.
43 * If we can only read 0 characters, then
44 * end-of-file is faked.
46 * input_file_push() Push state, which can be restored
47 * later. Does implicit input_file_begin.
48 * Returns char * to saved state.
50 * input_file_pop (arg) Pops previously saved state.
52 * input_file_close () Closes opened file.
54 * All errors are reported (using as_perror) so caller doesn't have to think
55 * about I/O errors. No I/O errors are fatal: an end-of-file may be faked.
