NAME

bl_fastx_write() - Write a FASTX record

LIBRARY

#include <biolibc/fasta.h>
-lbiolibc -lxtend

SYNOPSIS

int     bl_fastx_write(bl_fastx_t *record, FILE *fastx_stream,
size_t max_line_len)

ARGUMENTS

fastx_stream    FILE stream to which data are written
record          Pointer to a bl_fastx_t structure to be written
max_line_len    Maximum length of a sequence line in output

DESCRIPTION

Write a FASTA or FASTQ record from a FILE stream by calling bl_fasta_write(3) or bl_fastq_write(3). The bl_fastx_t structure must first be initialized by assigning it BL_FASTX_INIT and calling bl_fastx_init(3), and then 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); See bl_fasta_write(3) and bl_fastq_write(3) for further details.

RETURN VALUES

BL_WRITE_OK upon success, BL_WRITE_FAILURE if a write error occurs.

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);
