bl_vcf_skip_header(3) Library Functions Manual bl_vcf_skip_header(3) NAME bl_vcf_skip_header() - Read past VCF header LIBRARY #include <biolibc/vcf.h> -lbiolibc -lxtend SYNOPSIS FILE *bl_vcf_skip_header(FILE *vcf_stream) ARGUMENTS vcf_stream FILE pointer of VCF stream to be read DESCRIPTION Skip over meta-data lines and header line (beginning with #CHROM) in a VCF input stream, leaving the FILE structure pointing to the first character in the first line of data. The skipped meta-data and header are copied to a temporary file whose FILE pointer is returned. Note that the header line (beginning with #CHROM and containing sample IDs) is typically read using bl_vcf_get_sample_ids(3). If you wish to do this, call bl_vcf_skip_meta_data() instead of bl_vcf_skip_header(). RETURN VALUES BL_READ_OK upon success, BL_READ_TRUNCATED if read fails SEE ALSO bl_vcf_get_sample_ids(3), bl_vcf_read_static_fields(3), bl_vcf_read_ss_call(3) bl_vcf_skip_header(3)
