Detailed Description

Reader-writer for the header unit.

This class provides services to read and write records in the header units. Several groups of methods are available:

When reading or writing several records, it is recommended to use the Seq-suffixed methods (e.g. one call to writeSeq() instead of several calls to write()), which are optimized.

To write sequences of records, the following types are accepted, as well as their constant and reference counterparts:

For reading, the following return types are available:

Relying on VariantValue is the way to go when types are not all known at compile time, and can be the most comfortable option in many other cases. Indeed, working with a tuple might become a nightmare with many values, where std::vector<VariantValue> and RecordVec<VariantValue> (aka RecordSeq) can provide valuable help by reducing the boilerplate. The impact on runtime is negligible.

Note
As specified in the FITS definition, duplicated keywords lead to an undefined behavior.
