standard_header_type Derived Type

type, public :: standard_header_type

A header for files and output.

This is a type rather than a function so that we can use a consistent date/time and UUID across different files by reusing the same object.

Call standard_header_type::to_string to get the header as text.

Constructor

public interface standard_header_type

  • public function make_standard_header() result(this)

    Constructor for standard_header_type.

    Stores the date using date_is08601 and the UUID using simulation_run_uuid. Note that this may involve collective communication, so all processors should be involved in construction.

    Arguments

    None

    Return Value type(standard_header_type)


Type-Bound Procedures

procedure, public, :: to_string => standard_header_to_string

  • public function standard_header_to_string(this, comment_character, file_description) result(header)

    Return a multiline string with a standard header of the form:

    If \p comment_character is passed, it is prepended to the start of each line. Note that it is used as-is, including any whitespace.

    Arguments

    class(standard_header_type), intent(in) :: this
    character(len=*), intent(in), optional :: comment_character

    Optional character(s) to start each line. Whitespace is not stripped or added. Default is empty string
    character(len=*), intent(in), optional :: file_description

    Return Value character(len=:), allocatable
