| | 22 | 1. SysErrMsg: Returns the system error message corresponding to a specified code. |
| | 23 | 1. FOpen: Opens a file using C function fopen and returns an integer value, which is used to refer to the file |
| | 24 | 1. FGetText: Reads a string from a file until the character delim is readed, maxSize characters are reached or file ends |
| | 25 | 1. FPutText: Writes a string in a open file |

| | 30 | == OIS == |

| | 33 | 1. If oisHasPriorityOnConflict is false then, when a referenceable object exist already with the same name of an object inside an OIS image, the older object will be used instead of OIS one. This option could be usefull, for example, to recover old OIS images with damaged objects, as a dating that has been bounded between default dates at building time. If oisHasPriorityOnConflict is true, that's default behaviour, OIS object will be used to reproduce exactly as was built. |
