NAME

genders_load_data - read and parse a genders file

SYNOPSIS

#include <genders.h>

int genders_load_data(genders_t handle, const char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

genders_load_data() read and parses the genders file indicated by filename . If filename is NULL, genders_load_data() will attempt to read and parse the default genders file defined by GENDERS_DEFAULT_FILE . handle is a genders handle created by genders_handle_create (3).

After genders_load_data() 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 handle with other genders C API functions will be directly associated with the genders file indicated by filename (or the default genders file if filename is NULL).

RETURN VALUES
