io_read_vector

This holds information used on the vectors (one structure per vector) used for all stages of cloning and subcloning. For example both m13mp18 and pYAC4 vectors.

io_read_vector io vector_number

Reads a vector structure from a specified io number and stores it in a keyed list.

io_write_vector io vector_number keyed_list_contents

Writes a vector structure stored in the keyed_list to a specified io number. Returns 0 for success, -1 for failure.

For a description of the database structure, see (FIXME) "The GVectors Structure".
