[gmx-developers] Re: readxtc() -> SWIG -> Python

[Kaihsu Tai]

Oh, I found in gmx/src/gmxlib/ a file called xtcio.c with 
functions such as 
int read_first_xtc(int fp,int *natoms,int *step,real *time,
                   matrix box,rvec **x,real *prec,bool *bOK)
and
int read_next_xtc(int fp,
                  int natoms,int *step,real *time,
                  matrix box,rvec *x,real *prec,bool *bOK)
and there is a header file gmx/include/xtcio.h
I think this is the one I should wrap.
