int bufr_data_from_file	(	char *	file,
		bufr_t *	msg
	)

This function reads descriptors and data from an ASCII file and codes them into a BUFR data descriptor and data section (section 3 and 4). Memory for both sections is allocated in this function and must be freed by the calling functions using bufr_free_data.

Parameters:

[in]	file	Name of the input ASCII file
[in,out]	msg	BUFR message to contain the coded sections

Returns:

1 on succes, 0 on error

int bufr_data_to_file	(	char *	file,
		char *	imgfile,
		bufr_t *	msg
	)

This functions decodes data and descriptor sections of a BUFR message and writes them into an ASCII file. If there is an OPERA bitmap (currently descriptors 3 21 192 to 3 21 197, 3 21 200 and 3 21 202) it is written to a seperate file.

Parameters:

[in]	file	Name of the output ASCII file
[in]	imgfile	Name of the output bitmap file(s)
[in]	msg	BUFR message to contain the coded sections

Returns:

1 on succes, 0 on error
