Description

memsize

Fortran: INTEGER

C: int

Amount of memory in bytes necessary to hold descriptive data of random stream stream

Description

The vslGetStreamSize function returns the size of memory in bytes which is necessary to hold the given random stream. Use the output of the function to allocate the buffer to which you will save the random stream by means of the vslSaveStreamM function.

Return Values

VSL_ERROR_OK, VSL_STATUS_OK: Indicates no error, execution is successful.
VSL_RNG_ERROR_BAD_STREAM: stream is a NULL pointer.
VSL_ERROR_BAD_STREAM: stream is not a valid random stream.
