19 Read the Radar structure from disk. This is the inverse function of <a href=RSL_write_radar.html>RSL_write_radar</a>. The input file may be compressed. If the data is compressed, it is passed through the GNU <b>gunzip</b> filter. Thus, compressed data can be any format that <b>gzip</b> understands. Space for the Radar structure is obtained via calls to the volume routines: <a href=RSL_new.html>RSL_new_volume</a>, <a href=RSL_new.html>RSL_new_sweep</a>, and <a href=RSL_new.html>RSL_new_ray</a>, which obtain their space via the routine malloc.
23 Upon successful completion, a Radar structure is returned. Otherwise, NULL.
