libVCFH

------------

libVCFH is a set of data structures you can populate to print a VCf header. It should

be in spec with VCF4.1/4.2.

## Build it  

`make`

## Test it  

`make test; ./example.exe`

## Use it  

Just import vcfheader.hpp into your project and link against the library. This can be done with

``-L -I -lvcfh``. Then, in your code you can build up a vcf header and

send it to an ostream.  

            #include 

            using namespace std;

            using namespace vcfh;

            int main(){

                Header h;

                h.set_date();

                h.set_source("MyProgram");

                h.set_reference("my_reference");

                h.set_contig("Contig");

                h.set_version("VCF4.2");

                struct vcfh_info vi;

                vi.id = "test";

                vi.number = "2";

                vi.type = "string";

                vi.description = "Placeholder";

                h.add_info(vi);

                cerr << h << endl;

            }
