SYNOPSIS

int     bl_gff_read(bl_gff_t *gff_feature, FILE *gff_stream,
gff_field_mask_t field_mask)

ARGUMENTS

gff_feature     Pointer to a bl_gff_t structure
gff_stream      A FILE stream from which to read the line
field_mask      Bit mask indicating which fields to store in gff_feature

DESCRIPTION

If field_mask is not BL_GFF_FIELD_ALL, fields not indicated by a 1 in the bit mask are discarded rather than stored in gff_feature. That field in the structure is then populated with an appropriate marker, such as '.'. Possible mask values are:

BL_GFF_FIELD_ALL BL_GFF_FIELD_SEQUENCE BL_GFF_FIELD_SOURCE BL_GFF_FIELD_FEATURE BL_GFF_FIELD_START BL_GFF_FIELD_END BL_GFF_FIELD_SCORE BL_GFF_FIELD_STRAND BL_GFF_FIELD_PHASE BL_GFF_FIELD_ATTRIBUTES

RETURN VALUES

EXAMPLES

bl_gff_read(&gff_feature, stdin, BL_GFF_FIELD_ALL);
bl_gff_read(&gff_feature, gff_stream,
    BL_GFF_FIELD_SEQUENCE|BL_GFF_FIELD_START|BL_GFF_FIELD_END);
