Define C API #7
Description
BEM software will most likely want a simple 205 library module that allows the use of representations.
The BEM software would want to:
send the name/path of the file to the library
retrieve the static information from the file (either as structure for each data group or as individual values)
pass a set of grid variable values to the library and receive a set of lookup variable values back (either as a structure or individual values)
validate the file(?)
The library could be provided as code to be compiled by other developers or as compiled libraries (.dll, .a, .so)
The library should export with C bindings.
Interfaces can be defined for various languages (C++, FORTRAN, etc)
