Support Package

Detailed Description

This package covers LAL support routines.

These routines do not conform to LAL requirements, and many of them should be used only for debugging and in test code, not in production code. These are compiled and installed as a separate library lalsupport.

Modules
	Header Audio.h
	Routines for exporting time series data as sound files.
	Header ConfigFile.h
	Module for general parsing of simple ASCII-based config-files.
	Header FileIO.h
	Provides standard LAL support IO functions.
	Header H5FileIO.h
	Provides standard LAL support for reading and writing HDF5 files.
	Header LALCache.h
	This header covers routines to create and manipulate LALCache structures and to read LAL cache files.
	Header LALMathematica.h
	Provides structures, functions and macro definitions for modules that generate MATHEMATICA notebooks.
	Header LogPrintf.h
	General-purpose log-message handling, mostly modelled after the MSG_LOG class in BOINC.
	Header PrintFTSeries.h
	This is a simple utility to print time and frequency series into a file.
	Header PrintVector.h
	This is a simple utility to print vectors into a file.
	Header ReadFTSeries.h
	This is a simple utility to Read time and frequency series into a file.
	Header ReadNoiseSpectrum.h
	Provides function to read in a file containing a possibly unequally sampled noise amplitude spectrum ( \(\textrm{strain}/\sqrt(\textrm{Hz})\)) and return as a frequency series.
	Header StreamInput.h
	Provides routines to read data from an open stream and store it in LAL data structures.
	Header StreamOutput.h
	Provides routines to write data from LAL data structures to an open stream.
	Header TranslateAngles.h
	Module for translating between 'hms' (RA) and 'dms' (DEC) angle strings and radians.
	Header TranslateMJD.h
	Module for translating between MJD(TT) strings and GPS.
	Header UserInput.h
	Module for simple unified handling of user-input from config-file and/or command-line.
