function signatures inaccurate

[pavelkomarov]

There are numerous typos in the docs. I should have been keeping a more careful list. This one is an actual function signature that was never updated, looks like.

http://www.clawpack.org/pyclaw/io.html has read_<format> and write_<format>, but the actual way things are read and written is via clawpack.pyclaw.fileio.<format>.read and clawpack.pyclaw.fileio.<format>.write. grep is giving me nothing for read_ascii, for example.

I'm not sure what the "issue" here. Is there a specific bit of code you wrote that doesn't work like the documentation says it should?

[pavelkomarov]

The docs are out of sync with the code.

Again, please give a minimal working (or non-working) example.

I would point out that the documentation is not really wrong as it is just describing the signature. I do think it used to work to call the read/write functions that way but the canonical way to actually read/write something is to either instantiate a Solution object and give it the file format or call Solution.write or Solution.read and hand those functions the file format. You could call the clawpack.pyclaw.fileio.<format>.write function but that is not generally recommended.
