NAME

Bio::SFF::Reader - An SFF reader role

VERSION

version 0.007

DESCRIPTION

This module is a role and as such can not be instanciated directly. Instead, one should use Bio::SFF::Reader::Sequential or Bio::SFF::Reader::Random classes that implement this role. They inherit all methods in this role.

METHODS

new(...)

This method creates a new SFF Reader object. It currently takes one named argument:

  • file

    The file that should be read. This can either be a filename or a filehandle.

manifest()

This returns the (XML) manifest as a bytestring or undef if none is present.

header()

Returns the Bio::SFF::Header object associated with this reader.
