Detailed Description

Reads stream from file with meta-data headers. Headers are parsed into tags.

The information in the metadata headers includes:

rx_rate (double): sample rate of data. rx_time (uint64_t, double): time stamp of first sample in segment. size (uint32_t): item size in bytes. type (gr_file_types as int32_t): data type. cplx (bool): Is data complex? strt (uint64_t): Starting byte of data in this segment. bytes (uint64_t): Size in bytes of data in this segment.

Any item inside of the extra header dictionary is ready out and made into a stream tag.

[pure virtual]

virtual void gr::blocks::file_meta_source::do_update

[pure virtual]

static sptr gr::blocks::file_meta_source::make	(	const std::string &	filename,
		bool	repeat = false,
		bool	detached_header = false,
		const std::string &	hdr_filename = ""
	)		[static]

Create a meta-data file source.

Parameters:

filename	(string): Name of file to write data to.
repeat	(bool): Repeats file when EOF is found.
detached_header	(bool): Set to true if header info is stored in a separate file (usually named filename.hdr)
hdr_filename	(string): Name of detached header file if used. Defaults to 'filename.hdr' if detached_header is true but this field is an empty string.

virtual bool gr::blocks::file_meta_source::open	(	const std::string &	filename,
		const std::string &	hdr_filename = ""
