- SDDS_InitializeInput---Opens a file and initializes the SDDS_TABLE structure
used to access the data set.
- SDDS_InitializeHeaderlessInput---Opens a file and initializes the SDDS_TABLE structure
used to access the data set, but does not attempt to read the header, which is assumed not to exist.
The caller must define the header using the SDDS_Define X routines. This method of
using SDDS is not recommended, as it defeats the purpose of having a self-describing data set
by imbedding the description in a program.
- SDDS_ReadTable---Reads the next data table from a data set.
