slow5_idx_load
NAME
slow5_idx_load - loads the index file for a SLOW5 file
SYNOPSYS
int slow5_idx_load(slow5_file_t *s5p)
DESCRIPTION
slow5_idx_load() loads an index file for a SLOW5 file pointed by s5p into the memory from the disk and associates the index with s5p. If the index file is not found, the index is first created and written to the disk.
slow5_idx_load() should be called successfully before using slow5_get().
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, slow5_idx_load() returns a non-negative integer. Otherwise, a negative value is returned.
NOTES
slow5_errno will be set in future to indicate the type of error that occurred.
EXAMPLES
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <slow5/slow5.h>
#define FILE_PATH "examples/example.slow5"
int main(){
slow5_file_t *sp = slow5_open(FILE_PATH,"r");
if(sp==NULL){
fprintf(stderr,"Error in opening file\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
int ret=0;
ret = slow5_idx_load(sp);
if(ret<0){
fprintf(stderr,"Error in loading index\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
//...
slow5_idx_unload(sp);
slow5_close(sp);
