.TH GENDERS_LOAD_DATA 3 "August 2003" "LLNL" "LIBGENDERS"
.SH NAME
genders_load_data \- read and parse a genders file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <genders.h>
.sp
.BI "int genders_load_data(genders_t handle, const char *filename);"
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBgenders_load_data()\fR read and parses the genders file indicated
by \fIfilename\fR. If \fIfilename\fR is NULL,
\fBgenders_load_data()\fR will attempt to read and parse the default
genders file defined by \fBGENDERS_DEFAULT_FILE\fR. \fIhandle\fR is a
genders handle created by
.BR genders_handle_create (3).
After \fBgenders_load_data()\fR is called, information about the
genders file is stored in the genders handle passed in. This
information is used by other genders C API functions. All future use
of \fIhandle\fR with other genders C API functions will be directly
associated with the genders file indicated by \fIfilename\fR (or the
default genders file if \fIfilename\fR is NULL).
.br
.SH RETURN VALUES
On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and an error
code is returned in \fIhandle\fR. The error code can be retrieved via
.BR genders_errnum (3)
, and a description of the error code can be retrieved via
.BR genders_strerror (3).
Error codes are defined in genders.h.
.br
