io_read_reading_name and io_write_reading_name
When accessing the reading name record referenced by the reading structure,
special purpose functions must be used. The reading names are cached in
memory once a database is opened. This speeds up accesses, but requires
different IO functions. Note that io_write_text
to update a reading
name will invalidate the cache and cause bugs.
io_read_reading_name
io reading_number-
Returns the reading name for reading reading_number.
io_write_reading_name
io reading_number name- Writes the new reading name for reading reading_number. Assuming correct syntax, this always returns success.
