| Function getBamTypeChar Return char identifying the type of the atomic argument. getBamTypeChar<T>() Include Headers seqan/bam_io.h Parameters
T | The type to get the BAM char for.
Remarks Note that this function is defined for the __int16, __uint16 etc. but not for the types short, int etc. An exception are 8-bit characters/char, where it is defined for __int8, __uint8, and char unless char is equal to one of the other two types. This is important when used in setTagValue etc. since BAM gives type chars for printable characters, signed 8-bit numbers and unsigned 8-bit numbers. If __int8 and __uint8 are not identical to char, we can make this decision from the type, otherwise we cannot and we will give the integer types a higher precedence. In your programs, this should not make any difference, only the written SAM/BAM will differ. Return Values char describing the BAM type. One of ACcSsIifZ.
