FastaVector

A simple C library for reading/writing fasta files. This library concatenates the headers of the fasta file into a buffer, concatenates the sequences into a separate buffer, and keeps a metadata buffer that allows for easy indexing into the fasta data to retrieve the headers/sequences via simple lookup table.

Building

This library uses CMake. To build the library, use:

cmake .
make

This will produce both static and dynamic versions of the library in the build/ directory. To install the dynamic version, use make install.

It is also possible to build using a handrolled Makefile, without CMake. To do this, use Makefile_legacy:

make -f Makefile_legacy
