A proposal to add API functions allowing user code to iterate over all header lines in order. Then with a way of referencing a particular generic header line established, we can add a
sam_hdr_passes_filter()
function to enable using filter expressions on SAM header lines.Draft because the proposed basic iteration API (and everything else) is still in flux: the
_line_
in the names can probably be removed, and I am considering changing to C++-esquebegin
/end
terminology (which is an option for a SAM aux field iterator, and it would be good to use the same terminology for both) instead offirst
/next
.
