Alias seq allows us to have an enum of types. https://forum.dlang.org/post/kmdjfzpugudmwfrdgson@forum.dlang.org Thanks Paul!
Usage: auto t = TagValue(b, 'XX') where b is bam1_t* BAM record and XX is tag
This represents a SAM/BAM record tag value, as outlined in the SAM specs §1.5.
The struct itself stores only a pointer to the tag, and has member functions to parse into any of the tag types (but only if the tag matches that type) (TODO: is this true?)
Primary Types: A Printable character i Signed integer (see specs §1.5 footnote on size) f Single-precision float Z Printable string, including space H Byte array in the Hex format (network byte order / big-endian) //unknown if still supported B Integer or numeric array
Byte-array (B) types: c byte C ubyte s short S ushort i int32 I uint32 f float (spec does not indicate precision)
Memory layout pipes delimit byte boundaries in an array 8/9 are example values 2 is a count of the array the ubyte * starts at the type char c | 8| s | | 8| i | | | | 8| B |i | | | | 2| | | | 8| | | | 9|
