<h3 class="section">10.6 Reading and writing combinations</h3>

<p>The library provides functions for reading and writing combinations to a
file as binary data or formatted text.

<div class="defun">
&mdash; Function: int <b>gsl_combination_fwrite</b> (<var>FILE * stream, const gsl_combination * c</var>)<var><a name="index-gsl_005fcombination_005ffwrite-1046"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>This function writes the elements of the combination <var>c</var> to the
stream <var>stream</var> in binary format.  The function returns
<code>GSL_EFAILED</code> if there was a problem writing to the file.  Since the
data is written in the native binary format it may not be portable
between different architectures. 
</p></blockquote></div>

<div class="defun">
&mdash; Function: int <b>gsl_combination_fread</b> (<var>FILE * stream, gsl_combination * c</var>)<var><a name="index-gsl_005fcombination_005ffread-1047"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>This function reads elements from the open stream <var>stream</var> into the
combination <var>c</var> in binary format.  The combination <var>c</var> must be
preallocated with correct values of n and k since the
function uses the size of <var>c</var> to determine how many bytes to read. 
The function returns <code>GSL_EFAILED</code> if there was a problem reading
from the file.  The data is assumed to have been written in the native
binary format on the same architecture. 
</p></blockquote></div>

<div class="defun">
&mdash; Function: int <b>gsl_combination_fprintf</b> (<var>FILE * stream, const gsl_combination * c, const char * format</var>)<var><a name="index-gsl_005fcombination_005ffprintf-1048"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>This function writes the elements of the combination <var>c</var>
line-by-line to the stream <var>stream</var> using the format specifier
<var>format</var>, which should be suitable for a type of <var>size_t</var>. 
In ISO C99 the type modifier <code>z</code> represents <code>size_t</code>, so
<code>"%zu\n"</code> is a suitable format.<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>  The function returns
<code>GSL_EFAILED</code> if there was a problem writing to the file. 
</p></blockquote></div>

<div class="defun">
&mdash; Function: int <b>gsl_combination_fscanf</b> (<var>FILE * stream, gsl_combination * c</var>)<var><a name="index-gsl_005fcombination_005ffscanf-1049"></a></var><br>
<blockquote><p>This function reads formatted data from the stream <var>stream</var> into the
combination <var>c</var>.  The combination <var>c</var> must be preallocated with
correct values of n and k since the function uses the size of <var>c</var> to
determine how many numbers to read.  The function returns
<code>GSL_EFAILED</code> if there was a problem reading from the file. 
</p></blockquote></div>

<h4>Footnotes</h4><p class="footnote"><small>[<a name="fn-1" href="#fnd-1">1</a>]</small> In versions of the
GNU C library prior to the ISO C99 standard,
the type modifier <code>Z</code> was used instead.</p>
