SYNOPSIS

void bl_fastx_init(bl_fastx_t *record, FILE *fastx_stream)

ARGUMENTS

record  Pointer to the bl_fastx_t structure to initialize.

DESCRIPTION

Initialize a bl_fastx_t structure by peaking at the first character of the description string to determine whether the stream is FASTA or FASTQ, and then initializing the appropriate structure within the bl_fastx_t structure. This must be done before passing it to bl_fastx_read() for the first time, so that bl_fastx_read() will know to allocate memory for the fields.

EXAMPLES

bl_fastx_t  rec = BL_FASTX_INIT;
bl_fastx_init(&rec);
bl_fastx_read(stdin, &rec);
bl_fastx_free(&rec);
