I¹d personally use sgf.c (in the gnubg source) as a template for creating
your own code that reads the format in. However if you don¹t want to go that
far (or for license reasons you are rolling your own) you may be able to
review the SGF.C file for all the function names beginning with ³Write². You
can get a pretty good idea of what the values being written are, by looking
at the printf statements.

I don¹t believe at present that all of the rollout and analysis entries in
the SGF files are properly documented. I haven¹t seen them, but I am sure
someone will correct me.
