pm_io::getAction Interface Reference

Generate and return the action attribute of the input file or unit. More...

Detailed Description

Generate and return the action attribute of the input file or unit.

The action attribute of a connected file or unit is returned by the Fortran intrinsic inquire() statement.
Possible values are, "READ", "WRITE", "READWRITE". If there is no connection, the value returned is "UNDEFINED".

Parameters

[in]	unit	: The input scalar, or array of arbitrary rank, of type integer of default kind IK representing the file unit whose action attribute is to be returned. (optional, it must be present if and only if the input argument file is missing.)
[in]	file	: The input scalar, or array of arbitrary rank, of type character of default kind SK representing the file path whose action attribute is to be returned. (optional, it must be present if and only if the input argument unit is missing.)

Returns

action : The output scalar, or array of same rank, shape, and size as the input array-like argument, of type character of default kind SK of length type parameter 9, containing the action attribute of the input file or unit.
If the length of the output value is less than 9, it is left-adjusted and padded with blanks.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

use pm_kind, only: SK
use pm_io, only: getAction
character(9, SK) :: action
 
action = getAction(unit)
action = getAction(file)

Warning

This procedure does not gracefully handle unexpected runtime errors.
If error handling is needed, use the Fortran intrinsic inquire() with arguments iostat and iomsg present.

Remarks

The procedures under discussion are impure.

The procedures under discussion are elemental.
