Reading and writing PCD, the Point Cloud Library’s own format.
Written here rather than taken from a crate for the same reason PLY is: the format is a text header and a block of numbers, the whole of it fits on one page, and a dependency for that costs more than the code does. It is also the format most likely to arrive from a robot, since everything built on PCL writes it.
Supported: ascii and binary data, F/U/I fields of one, two,
four or eight bytes, and any field order. Not supported: binary_compressed,
which is an LZF stream nobody writes by hand and which no file this
application has been shown has used.
