dadMRead

• dadMRead reads from a dad stream (file/pipe/shared-mem) which has been opened using the CAC_MULTI flag. The type of data (table or dataflow name) is returned in ObjectName. It is possible to skip a record by setting skip_it to a non-zero value. This way the ADAMO FETCH/ACCEPT scheme can be simulated by writing the key and data in subsequent records.

f77:  Call dadMRead( Id, ObjectName, skip_it, err ) 
      integer Id, skip_it, err 
      character *(*)ObjectName
  or
C:    int dadMRead( int Id, char ObjectName[33], int skip_it, int *err )

• The variable Id is the Dad handle returned by a call to dadOpenFile, dadOpenPipe, dadOpenSHM, dadConnect.
• ObjectName returns the name of the read object (table/dataflow).
• skip_it is set to a non-zero value if the record reading should be skipped.
• The Err is set to 0 if the call was successfull or contains a Dad error number.
