NAME
NUMBLKS - Returns the current size of a file in 4096-byte blocks
SYNOPSIS
INTEGER NUMBLKS
val = NUMBLKS(unit)IMPLEMENTATION
UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, and IRIX systems
DESCRIPTION
This routine is supported on IRIX systems for programs compiled with
the MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler or compiled with the -craylibs
option to the MIPSpro 7.2 F77 compiler.
NUMBLKS returns the current size of a file.
When using the CF90 compiler or MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90 compiler on
UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, or IRIX, the argument must be type integer with
default KIND, and the function must be type integer with KIND=8.
The following is a list of arguments for this routine.
val File size in 4096-byte blocks. This returned value reflects
only the data actually written to disk and does not take
into account data still in the buffers. A value of 0 is
returned if the file is a pipe or character special device.
A negative value indicates that unit is not connected or a
system operation failed unexpectedly.
unit An integer variable, expression, or constant containing a
Fortran unit number.
