Thanks for this. It Helps me to know more about database. I got following
<quote>
Found 12 objects:
free space: 1
named : 10
other : 1
1 objects have one or more attributes.
Object DLI[0] types (the main category: defined in H[1] Flags):
0 (APPLICATION_DATA_OBJECT) : 10
1 (HEADER_OBJECT) : 1
2 (FREE_STORAGE) : 1
Object major types:
0 (RESERVED) : 2
1 (BRLCAD) : 9
2 (ATTRIBUTE_ONLY) : 1
Object minor types:
0 (RESERVED) : 3
1 (TOR) : 4
3 (ELL) : 5
</quote>
[0]: What is DLI here stands for?
[1]: H flags. Can we also able get how these flags are written in database file?
There are some files named as db_open.c, db_scan.c etc in
source/src/librt/ directory of BRL-CAD.
In db_open.c, it writes database in "w+b"( binary ) mode. I am trying
it to build after changing into "w"( text ) mode. Can it helps?
Thanks
