DEFINITION MODULE LongIO;

  (* Input and output of long real numbers in decimal text form
     over specified channels.  The read result is of the type
     IOConsts.ReadResults.
  *)

IMPORT IOChan;

  (* The text form of a signed fixed-point real number is
       ["+" | "-"], decimal digit, {decimal digit}, [".",
       {decimal digit}]

     The text form of a signed floating-point real number is
       signed fixed-point real number,
       "E", ["+" | "-"], decimal digit, {decimal digit}
  *)


PROCEDURE ReadReal (cid: IOChan.ChanId; VAR real: LONGREAL);
  (* Skips leading spaces, and removes any remaining characters
     from cid that form part of a signed fixed or floating
     point number.  The value of this number is assigned to real.
     The read result is set to the value allRight, outOfRange,
     wrongFormat, endOfLine, or endOfInput.
  *)


PROCEDURE WriteFloat (cid: IOChan.ChanId; real: LONGREAL;
                      sigFigs: CARDINAL; width: CARDINAL);
  (* Writes the value of real to cid in floating-point text form,
     with sigFigs significant figures, in a field of the given
     minimum width.
  *)


PROCEDURE WriteEng (cid: IOChan.ChanId; real: LONGREAL;
                    sigFigs: CARDINAL; width: CARDINAL);
  (* As for WriteFloat, except that the number is scaled with
     one to three digits in the whole number part, and with an
     exponent that is a multiple of three.
  *)


PROCEDURE WriteFixed (cid: IOChan.ChanId; real: LONGREAL;
                      place: INTEGER; width: CARDINAL);
  (* Writes the value of real to cid in fixed-point text form,
     rounded to the given place relative to the decimal point,
     in a field of the given minimum width.
  *)


PROCEDURE WriteReal (cid: IOChan.ChanId; real: LONGREAL;
                     width: CARDINAL);
  (* Writes the value of real to cid, as WriteFixed if the
     sign and magnitude can be shown in the given width, or
     otherwise as WriteFloat.  The number of places or
     significant digits depends on the given width.
