Detailed Description

Generate and return the entire contents of the input unconnected file or the (remaining) contents of an already-connected file associated with the input unit.

Parameters
[in]unit: The input scalar integer of default kind IK containing the unit of an already-connected (opened) file whose (partial) contents will be returned.
(optional. It must be present if and only if the input argument file is missing.)
[in]file: The input scalar character of default kind SK containing the path of an unconnected (unopened) file whose entire contents will be returned.
(optional. It must be present if and only if the input argument unit is missing.)
[in]del: See the documentation for the corresponding argument of setContentsFrom().
(optional. The default behavior is set by setContentsFrom())
Returns
contents : The output allocatable scalar character of default kind SK that will contain the file contents.
The allocation status of contents or its value remain undefined if an error occurs.


Possible calling interfaces

character(:, SK), allocatable :: contents
contents = getContentsFrom(unit, del = del)
contents = getContentsFrom(file, del = del)

Warning
All warnings associated with setContentsFrom also apply to the procedures under this generic interface.
If the procedure fails to fetch the contents of the file, the program may stop by signaling the occurrence of an error.
Use setContentsFrom for graceful error handling.
Remarks
The procedures under discussion are impure.
