hminlib

The functions contained in hmlib are divided into seven groups. Most of these functions begin with the HMIN_ prefix:

1. Basic functions: Provide basic functionality such as initialization and open/close.
2. File locator functions: Provide the capability of working with file locators to easily find data inside a file.
3. ID functions: Provide capabilities for initializing and working with entity IDs.
4. Message functions: Enable you to send messages to HyperMesh, to the .msg file, or to the .hmx file.
5. Move functions: Handle moving entities between collectors.
6. Rename functions: Allow collectors to be renamed.
7. Transfer functions: Functions that handle writing collectors and entities to the HyperMesh database.

Header files are included in source code files to define structures, variables, and prototypes. In order for a program to be compiled using the HyperMesh libraries, the program must use the header files provided with HyperMesh. These functions are provided in the hminlib.h header file.
