Prototypes

char * XLALUnitAsString (char *string, UINT4 length, const LALUnit *input)
 Returns the pointer to the input string, which is populated with the unit string if successful. More...
 
char * XLALUnitToString (const LALUnit *input)
 Allocates and returns a new string, which is populated with the unit string. More...
 
LALUnitXLALParseUnitString (LALUnit *output, const char *string)
 Returns the pointer output upon return or a pointer to newly allocated memory if output was NULL; on failure, XLALParseUnitString() returns NULL and sets xlalErrno to one of the following values: XLAL_ENOMEM if the routine was unable to allocate memory for the output or XLAL_EFAILED if the routine was unable to parse the unit string. More...
 
int XLALUnitNormalize (LALUnit *unit)
 Returns 0 upon success or XLAL_FAILURE if the input pointer is NULL, in which case xlalErrno is set to XLAL_EFAULT. More...
 
int XLALUnitCompare (const LALUnit *unit1, const LALUnit *unit2)
 Returns 0 if the the normal form of the two unit structures are the same or > 0 if they are different. More...
 
LALUnitXLALUnitMultiply (LALUnit *output, const LALUnit *unit1, const LALUnit *unit2)
 This function multiplies together the LALUnit structures *(input->unitOne) and *(input->unitTwo), thus allowing a module to eg, multiply two REAL8TimeSeries and give the resulting REAL8TimeSeries the correct units. More...
 
LALUnitXLALUnitDivide (LALUnit *output, const LALUnit *unit1, const LALUnit *unit2)
 UNDOCUMENTED. More...
 
LALUnitXLALUnitRaiseRAT4 (LALUnit *output, const LALUnit *input, const RAT4 *power)
 Raises a LALUnit structure to a rational power given by the RAT4 structure power. More...
 
LALUnitXLALUnitRaiseINT2 (LALUnit *output, const LALUnit *input, INT2 power)
 Raises a LALUnit structure to an integer power power. More...
 
LALUnitXLALUnitSquare (LALUnit *output, const LALUnit *input)
 Produces the square of a LALUnit structure. More...
 
LALUnitXLALUnitSqrt (LALUnit *output, const LALUnit *input)
 Produces the square-root of a LALUnit structure. More...
 
LALUnitXLALUnitInvert (LALUnit *output, const LALUnit *input)
 UNDOCUMENTED. More...
 
REAL8 XLALUnitPrefactor (const LALUnit *unit)
 Return the unit's prefactor. More...
 
int XLALUnitIsDimensionless (const LALUnit *unit)
 Return 1 if a unit is dimensionless, 0 otherwise. More...
 
REAL8 XLALUnitRatio (const LALUnit *unit1, const LALUnit *unit2)
 Return the ratio unit1 / unit2. More...
