lis_matrix_convert(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the lis_matrix_convert(3) manual page — it's giving matrix glow-up energy and we're obsessed 💅

lis_matrix_convert — convert the matrix format

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "lis.h"

LIS_INT lis_matrix_convert(LIS_MATRIX Ain, LIS_MATRIX Aout);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the tea is: this function takes matrix Ain and converts it into Aout, and the format of Aout is whatever you set with lis_matrix_set_type. That's it, that's the whole vibe. periodt.

---

🎀 INPUT 🎀

• Ain — the source matrix, aka your starting material, the before pic if you will.

---

🦋 OUTPUT 🦋

• Aout — the destination matrix, where the after glow-up lands.

---

💅 EXIT STATUS 💅

The following exit values are returned:

• 0 — the process is normally terminated. slay.
• unspecified — an error occurred. not slay, bestie.

---

🔥 NOTE 🔥

okay so important details, no cap:

The storage format of Aout is set by lis_matrix_set_type. The block size of the BSR, BSC, and VBR formats is set by lis_matrix_set_blocksize.

The conversions indicated by 1 in the table below are performed directly, and the other ones are performed via the indicated formats. The conversions with no indication are performed via the CSR format.

Here's the full conversion matrix, but as a list because tables are not the vibe:

Source: CSR

• CSR → CSR: (blank, no indication) — via CSR
• CSR → CSC: 1 (direct)
• CSR → MSR: 1 (direct)
• CSR → DIA: 1 (direct)
• CSR → ELL: 1 (direct)
• CSR → JAD: 1 (direct)
• CSR → BSR: 1 (direct)
• CSR → BSC: via CSC
• CSR → VBR: 1 (direct)
• CSR → COO: 1 (direct)
• CSR → DNS: 1 (direct)

Source: COO

• COO → CSR: 1 (direct)
• COO → CSC: 1 (direct)
• COO → MSR: 1 (direct)
• COO → DIA: via CSR
• COO → ELL: via CSR
• COO → JAD: via CSR
• COO → BSR: via CSR
• COO → BSC: via CSC
• COO → VBR: via CSR
• COO → COO: (blank, no indication) — via CSR
