-lbiolibc -lxtend

SYNOPSIS

int     bl_fastx_read(bl_fastx_t *record, FILE *fastx_stream)

ARGUMENTS

fastx_stream    FILE stream from which FASTA data are read
record          Pointer to a bl_fastx_t structure to receive data

DESCRIPTION

Read a FASTA or FASTQ record from a FILE stream by calling bl_read_fasta(3) or bl_read_fastq(3). The bl_fastx_t structure must first be initialized by assigning it BL_FASTX_INIT and calling bl_fastx_init(3). See bl_fasta_read(3) and bl_fastq_read(3) for further details.

RETURN VALUES

BL_READ_OK upon successful read of description and sequence BL_READ_BAD_DATA if something is amiss with input format BL_READ_EOF if no more data are available

EXAMPLES

bl_fastx_t  rec = BL_FASTX_INIT;
bl_fastx_init(stdin, &rec);
while ( bl_fastx_read(stdin, &rec) != BL_READ_EOF )


    bl_fastx_write(stdout, &rec, BL_FASTX_LINE_UNLIMITED);
bl_fastx_free(&rec);
