Description-en: development files for the HTSlib
HTSlib is an implementation of a unified C library for accessing common file
formats, such as SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map), CRAM and VCF (Variant Call
Format), used for high-throughput sequencing data, and is the core library
used by samtools and bcftools. HTSlib only depends on zlib. It is known to be
compatible with gcc, g++ and clang.
.
HTSlib implements a generalized BAM (binary SAM) index, with file extension
‘csi’ (coordinate-sorted index). The HTSlib file reader first looks for the
new index and then for the old if the new index is absent.
.
This package contains development files for the HTSlib: headers, static
library, manual pages, etc.
.
For compatibility with sambamba, the internal routine cram_to_bam was
exported, hereto adopting a patch found in guix.
