- Lab 4:
- Write a lite version of NOOP.
nM> primlab4 <IN> <OUT>
- Your primitive should take in a file and copy it to an output file.
- There is no need to do any data reformatting, computations, or throttling.
- You only need to work with Midas Blue files (i.e.
DataFile ) and
pipes (which also use DataFile ).
- Tips:
- Try using the MA.getDataFile(<name>, <file>, <flags>) method
when getting the output file.
- This will get a new file that has matching header information as another file
(in this case the input file).
- Since MA.getDataFile(<name>, <file>, <flags>) is
only used when getting an output file there is no need to use the
OUTPUT flag (you can just use 0 for <flags> ).
- Remember to open the input file, before using it here
(as this will try to read the input file's headers).
- Update the command dictionary and build the primitive.
- Test your primitive.
