Cactus Code Thorn IOFlexIO
Authors    : John Shalf
CVS info   : $Header$
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Purpose of the thorn

This thorn does output of 2D and 3D variables in IEEEIO data format.

It also provides checkpointing/recovery functionality -
you can create IEEEIO checkpoint files and recover from them.

The IO methods "IOFlexIO_2D" and "IOFlexIO_3D" are registered 
which can be called by other thorns via CCTK_OutputVarAsByMethod()
to output a variable without specifying it in the parameter file.


2. Additional information

IEEEIO is implemented by John Shalf's FlexIO library - that's why
the name of this thorn.
