BossParse - Parse Boss ASCII input file format.
SYNOPSIS
#include <boss.h>BOSS_DATA *BossParse(filename)char *filename;
DESCRIPTION
This function is part of the Casio Boss communications library(libboss.a). This routine will parse 'filename' and return aparse tree in the form of a BOSS_DATA structure (see the
boss_data(3)manual page). When parsing the input file, an 8 character tab spacingis assumed. This will only affect how multi-lined strings are aligned and spacedout.
When strings are parsed, any escape sequences will be convertedto the B.O.S.S. character set (a.k.a BossEncodeStr(3)).
RETURN VALUES
- A non-NULL pointer is retured to indicate success. The pointer willpoint to a complete BOSS_DATA structure with all parsed datacontained in it.
- NULL:
- A NULL return pointer indicates an error. This could be a memoryallocation error or a syntax error in the file. Call BossError() to retrievethe error string.
