# EDFlib



EDFlib is a programming library for C/C++ for reading and writing EDF+ and BDF+ files.

It also reads "old style" EDF and BDF files.

EDF means European Data Format. BDF is the 24-bits version of EDF.



## Usage



The library consists of only two files: `edflib.h` and `edflib.c`.



In order to use EDFlib, copy these two files to your project.

Include the file `edflib.h` in every source file from where you want to access the library.



Don't forget to tell your compiler that it must compile and link `edflib.c` (add it to

your makefile or buildscript). `edflib.c` needs to be compiled with the options

`-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE`.



For example:



`gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -Wformat-nonliteral -Wformat-security -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE test_edflib.c edflib.c -lm -o test_edflib`



Compilation has been tested using GCC on Linux, Mingw-w64 on Windows, and LLVM GCC on OS X (Yosemite).



To understand how to use the library, read the comments in `edflib.h`.



## Examples



To build the examples: `make`



Each "generator" example creates an EDF+ or BDF+ file with sample signals.



`test_generator` shows how to use most of the functions provided by the library and generates an

EDF+ or BDF+ testfile with several sample signals.



`sine_generator` creates a BDF+ file containing the signal "sine", a 1 Hz sinusoidal waveform with a

sample frequency of 2048 Hz.



`sweep_generator` creates a linear or logarithmic sweep through a range of frequencies in EDF+ or

BDF+ format.



Use EDFbrowser to view these files: https://www.teuniz.net/edfbrowser/



`test_edflib  ` will print the properties of the EDF/BDF header, the

annotations, and the values of 200 samples of the chosen signal. For example, running

`test_generator` will produce the file `test_generator.edf`. Running `test_edflib test_generator.edf 6`

will show the header and first 200 samples of the "noise" signal:

`75  6  27  77  37  30  35  96  62  69  34  15  51  56  69  68  80  45 ...`
