## io.c -- input and output operations

> Qhull provides a wide range of input and output options. To organize the code, most output formats use the same driver:

>         qh_printbegin( fp, format, facetlist, facets, printall );

>         FORALLfacet_( facetlist )
>           qh_printafacet( fp, format, facet, printall );

>         FOREACHfacet_( facets )
>           qh_printafacet( fp, format, facet, printall );

>         qh_printend( fp, format );

> Note the 'printall' flag. It selects whether or not qh_skipfacet() is tested.
