Method Detail

decodeLoc

public Feature decodeLoc(PositionalBufferedStream inputStream)

Description copied from interface: FeatureCodec

Decode a line to obtain just its FeatureLoc for indexing -- contig, start, and stop.

Parameters:

inputStream - the input stream from which to decode the next record

Returns:

Return the FeatureLoc encoded by the line, or null if the line does not represent a feature (e.g. is a comment)

decode

public VariantContext decode(PositionalBufferedStream inputStream)

Description copied from interface: FeatureCodec

Decode a single Feature from the SOURCE, reading no further in the underlying source than beyond that feature.

Parameters:

inputStream - the input stream from which to decode the next record

Returns:

Return the Feature encoded by the line, or null if the line does not represent a feature (e.g. is a comment)

getFeatureType

public java.lang.Class<VariantContext> getFeatureType()

Description copied from interface: FeatureCodec

This function returns the object the codec generates. This is allowed to be Feature in the case where conditionally different types are generated. Be as specific as you can though.

This function is used by reflections based tools, so we can know the underlying type

Returns:

the feature type this codec generates.

readHeader

public FeatureCodecHeader readHeader(PositionalBufferedStream inputStream)

Description copied from interface: FeatureCodec

Read and return the header, or null if there is no header. Note: Implementers of this method must be careful to read exactly as much from SOURCE as needed to parse the header, and no more. Otherwise, data that might otherwise be fed into parsing a Feature may be lost.

Parameters:

inputStream - the source from which to decode the header

Returns:

header object

canDecode

public boolean canDecode(java.lang.String path)

Description copied from interface: FeatureCodec

This function returns true iff the File potentialInput can be parsed by this codec.

There is an assumption that there's never a situation where two different Codecs return true for the same file. If this occurs, the recommendation would be to error out.

Note this function must never throw an error. All errors should be trapped and false returned.

Parameters:

path - the file to test for parsability with this codec

Returns:

true if potentialInput can be parsed, false otherwise

getDictionaryString

protected final java.lang.String getDictionaryString(int offset)

getHeader

protected VCFHeader getHeader()

Returns:

the VCFHeader we found in this BCF2 file

getGenotypeFieldDecoder

protected BCF2GenotypeFieldDecoders.Decoder getGenotypeFieldDecoder(java.lang.String field)
