I/O

This set of APIs allows you to access the host filesystem to read files.

• Acquisition
• method: readfile

Acquisition

IO_API_v0* io = (IO_API_v0*)DOME_getAPI(API_IO, IO_API_VERSION);

Methods

method: readFile

void* readFile(DOME_Context ctx, const char* path, size_t* length);

Synchronously reads the file located at path to memory. The size of the file in bytes is stored in the location pointed to by length. You are responsible for freeing the returned pointer when you are done using it.

If there is a problem loading the file, this method will return NULL. You can find out why using core->getLastError(DOME_Context ctx);
