This library helps to read and provide random access to the BGZF formatted file using RUST language.
Extracted from: http://www.htslib.org/doc/bgzip.html
"Bgzip compresses files in a similar manner to, and compatible with, gzip. The file is compressed into a series of small (less than 64K) 'BGZF' blocks. This allows indexes to be built against the compressed file and used to retrieve portions of the data without having to decompress the entire file."
For decompresses 'deflate' algorithm is used, for more information please use this link: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1951
Below are the steps to use the bgzf Reader
1st step is to create a BGZF instance with a new function, after that read, seek etc method can be used.
use bgzf_rust_reader::BgzfReader;
use std::str;
let reader = BgzfReader::new(String::from("bgzf_test.bgz")).unwrap();
let mut vec = vec![0; 52];
let data_read = reader.read_to(&mut vec);
assert_eq!(data_read.unwrap(), 52);
assert_eq!("This is just a bgzf test,lets see how it reacts. :).", str::from_utf8(&vec).unwrap());
