Method Details

getContentType

default HtsContentType getContentType()

Description copied from interface: HtsCodec

Get the HtsContentType for this codec.

Specified by:

getContentType in interface HtsCodec<ReadsDecoderOptions,ReadsEncoderOptions>

Returns:

the HtsContentType for this codec. The HtsContentType determines the interfaces, including the HEADER and RECORD types, used by this codec's HtsEncoder and HtsDecoder. Each implementation of a given content type exposes the same interfaces, but over a different file format or version. For example, both the BAM and HTSGET_BAM codecs have codec type HtsContentType.ALIGNED_READS, and are derived from ReadsCodec, but the serialized file formats and access mechanisms for the two codecs are different).
