fprintf_network_small

- writes a network in small I/O-format

SYNOPSIS

int fprintf_network_small (stream, net)

ARGUMENTS

FILE *stream A valid file pointer.
NET *net A pointer to a correct NET structure.

RETURNS

TRUE if an error occurred, FALSE if not.

FUNCTION

This function supposes that upon loading a network, its structure is already known, and writes only the weights and biases (i.e. the variable parts) of the network in ASCII format. No checking is done.

NOTE

This function was created because for large networks the size of the network save file may become excessively large. If the network's structure is fixed, there is no need to store it. Also note, that no structure information or history values (see HIST-flags) are stored! Use this function only if the network's structure is easily recreated, e.g. using create_ff_net or create_sharednet.
