ExternalConfigSize

| Tag ExternalConfigSize Arbitrary size type configuration for the External String. String<TValue, External< ExternalConfigSize< TSize > > > String<TValue, External< ExternalConfigSize< TSize, TFile[, pageSize[, frames]]> > > Include Headers seqan/file.h Parameters
TSize | Size type the External String will return via Size.
TFile | Type of file the External String will be based on. Types: File
pageSize | A positive integer that specifies the number of values in one page. Default: 2^20 Remarks: This should be a power of 2, to speed up transfer and calculations.
frames | A positive integer that specifies the maximum number of pages that should reside in internal memory. Default: 2 Remarks: To enable prefetching and automatic swap-out, frames should be greater than 1.
Remarks When using this configuration, the Size type of the External String is the Size type of TFile. Normally this is a 64bit integer. For a smaller size type, use ExternalConfig. Some data structures store size type values (e.g. suffix arrays in Index). To save memory, you should think of using ExternalConfig. SeqAn - Sequence Analysis Library - www.seqan.de
