bl_fastx_seq_len(3)	    Library Functions Manual	     bl_fastx_seq_len(3)

NAME
     bl_fastx_seq_len() - Return length of a FASTX sequence object

LIBRARY
     #include <biolibc/fastx.h>
     -lbiolibc -lxtend

SYNOPSIS
     size_t  bl_fastx_seq_len(bl_fastx_t *record)

ARGUMENTS
     record  Pointer to the bl_fastx_t structure

DESCRIPTION
     Return the length of the seq string of a FASTA or FASTQ record.  The record
     must be initialized with bl_fastx_init(3) and populated by bl_fastx_read(3)
     or other means.  Previously used variables may be reused to process another
     record   in   the	 same  format  (FASTA  or  FASTQ)  or  reinitialized  by
     bl_fastx_free(3);

RETURN VALUES
     Length of the seq string

EXAMPLES
     bl_fastx_t  record = BL_FASTX_INIT;

     bl_fastx_init(stdin, &record);
     bl_fastx_read(stdin, &record);
     printf("Seq string length = %zun", bl_fastx_seq_len(&record));
     bl_fastx_free(&record);
