## C-style interface to CFITSIO functions

- Function names closely mirror the C interface (e.g., `fits_open_file()`).

- Functions operate on `FITSFile`, a thin wrapper for `fitsfile` C struct

  (`FITSFile` has concept of "current HDU", as in CFITSIO).

- Note that the wrapper functions *do* check the return status from CFITSIO

  and throw an error with the appropriate message.

For more information and usage examples, please visit the [documentation](https://JuliaAstro.github.io/CFITSIO.jl/dev).
