Trait rust_htslib::bam::Read[][src]

pub trait Read: Sized {
    fn read(&mut self, record: &mut Record) -> Result<(), ReadError>;
fn records(&mut self) -> Records<Self>;
fn pileup(&mut self) -> Pileups<Self>;
fn bgzf(&self) -> *mut BGZF;
fn header(&self) -> &HeaderView; fn seek(&mut self, offset: i64) -> Result<(), SeekError> { ... }
fn tell(&self) -> i64 { ... }
fn set_threads(&mut self, n_threads: usize) -> Result<(), ThreadingError> { ... } }

A trait for a BAM reader with a read method.

Required Methods

Read next BAM record into given record. Use this method in combination with a single allocated record to avoid the reallocations occurring with the iterator.

Arguments

  • record - the record to be filled
Important traits for Records<'a, R>

Iterator over the records of the seeked region. Note that, while being convenient, this is less efficient than pre-allocating a Record and reading into it with the read method, since every iteration involves the allocation of a new Record.

Important traits for Pileups<'a, R>

Iterator over pileups.

Return the BGZF struct

Return the header.

Provided Methods

Seek to the given virtual offset in the file

Report the current virtual offset

Activate multi-threaded BAM read support in htslib. This should permit faster reading of large BAM files.

Setting nthreads to 0 does not change the current state. Note that it is not possible to set the number of background threads below 1 once it has been set.

Arguments

  • n_threads - number of extra background writer threads to use, must be > 0.
