Test the CMSVLIB library Calling Sequence
CMSV_TEST, FILENAME, USER_VALUE=UVALUE
Description
CMSV_TEST performs a standard test of the CMSVLIB library. It
reads and writes a save file using several different methods in an
attempt to test the different ways that the library can be used.
The test procedure can be used to verify that the library is
functioning properly.
By default, this procedure provides standard values to be written,
but the user can provide one of them with the USER_VALUE keyword.
If the user's data contains pointers, they must expect tests
listed under CMSVREAD and CMSVWRITE to fail.
By default the file is written in the current directory, but this
can be changed with the FILENAME parameter.
This procedure is part of the CMSVLIB SAVE library for IDL by
Craig Markwardt. You must have the full CMSVLIB core package
installed in order for this procedure to function properly.
