The command DUMP displays the content of one or all sections of
the R buffer. When CLASS finds a user section to dump, it can
display the information it knows about each subsection. What it can
not do is guessing what the data block contains.
If the section owner wants to tell CLASS how to dump its
subsection, it has to:
- tell CLASS which subsection it owns with class_user_owner. This is optional if it has been done
elsewhere.
- declare to CLASS with class_user_dump a subroutine
which is able to display what is in the data block.
If CLASS tries now to DUMP the user section, it will loop
over all the subsections it contains. If one matches the owner+title
couple, it will put the data block in a specific place, and then
call user's dump subroutine. This subroutine will then just have to
translate back the data block to its own data type.
This last point must be fulfilled by a subroutine exactly symmetric to
the transfer routine used at write time, i.e. elements should be
reread in the same order they have been written.
