)

bcf_add_filter() - adds to the FILTER column : filter ID to add, numeric ID returned by bcf_id2int(hdr, BCF_DT_ID, "PASS")

If flt_id is PASS, all existing filters are removed first. If other than PASS, existing PASS is removed.

void bcf_clear ( bcf1_t v)

Make the bcf1_t object ready for next read. Intended mostly for internal use, the user should rarely need to call this function directly.

bcf_get_fmt() - returns pointer to FORMAT's field data : for access to BCF_DT_ID dictionary VCF line obtained from vcf_parse1 : one of GT,PL,...

Returns bcf_fmt_t* / bcf_info_t*. These functions do not check if the index is valid as their goal is to avoid the header lookup.

bcf_hdr_t* bcf_hdr_init ( const char *  mode)

bcf_hdr_init() - create an empty BCF header.

int bcf_hdr_parse ( bcf_hdr_t hdr,
char *  htxt 
)

int *  len 
)
void bcf_hdr_parse_sample_line ( bcf_hdr_t h,

int bcf_hdr_printf ( bcf_hdr_t hdr,
const char *  fmt,
  ... 
)
bcf_hdr_t* bcf_hdr_read ( htsFile fp)

Reads VCF or BCF header

int bcf_hdr_register_hrec ( bcf_hdr_t hdr,
bcf_hrec_t hrec 
)
void bcf_hdr_remove ( bcf_hdr_t h,
int  type,
const char *  key 
)

bcf_hdr_remove() - remove VCF header tag

Parameters
typeone of BCF_HL_*
keytag name
const char** bcf_hdr_seqnames ( const bcf_hdr_t h,
int *  nseqs 
)

Creates a list of sequence names. It is up to the caller to free the list (but not the sequence names)

int bcf_hdr_set ( bcf_hdr_t hdr,
const char *  fname 
)

Read VCF header from a file and update the header

int bcf_hdr_set_samples ( bcf_hdr_t hdr,
const char *  samples,
int  is_file 
)

bcf_hdr_set_samples() - for more efficient VCF parsing when only one/few samples are needed : samples to include or exclude from file or as a comma-separated string. LIST|FILE .. select samples in list/file ^LIST|FILE .. exclude samples from list/file

  • .. include all samples NULL .. exclude all samples : is a file (1) or a comma-separated list (1)

The bottleneck of VCF reading is parsing of genotype fields. If the reader knows in advance that only subset of samples is needed (possibly no samples at all), the performance of bcf_read() can be significantly improved by calling bcf_hdr_set_samples after bcf_hdr_read(). The function bcf_read() will subset the VCF/BCF records automatically with the notable exception when reading records via bcf_itr_next(). In this case, bcf_subset_format() must be called explicitly, because bcf_readrec() does not see the header.

Returns 0 on success, -1 on error or a positive integer if the list contains samples not present in the VCF header. In such a case, the return value is the index of the offending sample.

void bcf_hdr_set_version ( bcf_hdr_t hdr,
const char *  version 
)
bcf_hdr_t* bcf_hdr_subset ( const bcf_hdr_t h0,
int  n,
char *const *  samples,
int *  imap 
)

bcf_hdr_subset() - creates a new copy of the header removing unwanted samples

Parameters
nnumber of samples to keep
samplesnames of the samples to keep
imapmapping from index in to the sample index in the original file

Sample names not present in h0 are ignored. The number of unmatched samples can be checked by comparing n and bcf_hdr_nsamples(out_hdr). This function can be used to reorder samples. See also bcf_subset() which subsets individual records.

int bcf_hdr_sync ( bcf_hdr_t h)
int bcf_hdr_write ( htsFile fp,
bcf_hdr_t h 
)

Writes VCF or BCF header

void bcf_header_debug ( bcf_hdr_t hdr)
void bcf_hrec_add_key ( bcf_hrec_t hrec,
const char *  str,

int bcf_read ( htsFile fp,
const bcf_hdr_t h,
bcf1_t v 
)

bcf_read() - read next VCF or BCF record

Returns -1 on critical errors, 0 otherwise. On errors which are not critical for reading, such as missing header definitions, v->errcode is set to one of BCF_ERR* code and must be checked before calling vcf_write().

int bcf_readrec ( BGZF fp,
void *  null,
void *  v,
int *  tid,
int *  beg,
int *  end 
)

Helper function for the bcf_itr_next() macro; internal use, ignore it

int bcf_remove_filter ( const bcf_hdr_t hdr,
bcf1_t line,
int  flt_id,
int  pass 
)

bcf_remove_filter() - removes from the FILTER column : filter ID to remove, numeric ID returned by bcf_id2int(hdr, BCF_DT_ID, "PASS") : when set to 1 and no filters are present, set to PASS

int bcf_subset ( const bcf_hdr_t h,
bcf1_t v,
int  n,
int *  imap

bcf1_t rec 
)
int bcf_translate ( const bcf_hdr_t dst_hdr,
bcf_hdr_t src_hdr,
bcf1_t src_line 
)

bcf_translate() - translate tags ids to be consistent with different header. This function is useful when lines from multiple VCF need to be combined. : the destination header, to be used in bcf_write(), see also bcf_hdr_combine() : the source header, used in bcf_read() : line obtained by bcf_read()

int bcf_unpack ( bcf1_t b,
int  which 
)
int bcf_update_alleles ( const bcf_hdr_t hdr,
bcf1_t line,
const char **  alleles,
int  nals 
)

bcf_update_alleles() and bcf_update_alleles_str() - update REF and ALLT column : Array of alleles : Number of alleles : Comma-separated alleles, starting with the REF allele

Not that in order for indexing to work correctly in presence of INFO/END tag, the length of reference allele (line->rlen) must be set explicitly by the caller, or otherwise, if rlen is zero, strlen(line->d.allele[0]) is used to set the length on bcf_write().

int bcf_update_alleles_str ( const bcf_hdr_t hdr,
bcf1_t line,
const char *  alleles_string 
)
int bcf_update_filter ( const bcf_hdr_t hdr,

bcf_write() - write one VCF or BCF record. The type is determined at the open() call.

typedef khash_t ( vdict  )
int vcf_format ( const bcf_hdr_t h,

The opposite of vcf_parse. It should rarely be called directly, see vcf_write

bcf_hdr_idinfo_exists(h,BCF_HL_FMT,fmt[i].id) )

bcf_hdr_t* vcf_hdr_read ( htsFile fp)

The following functions work only with VCFs and should rarely be called directly. Usually one wants to use their bcf_* alternatives, which work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs.

int vcf_hdr_write ( htsFile fp,
const bcf_hdr_t h 
)
int vcf_parse ( kstring_t s,
const bcf_hdr_t h,
bcf1_t v 
)

Parse VCF line contained in kstring and populate the bcf1_t struct
