#include <Hdu.h>

Detailed Description

Base class for ImageHdu and BintableHdu.

This class provides services common to all HDUs for reading and writing records. Services exclusively applicable to MEF files (e.g. HDU name or type) are directly provided as methods, while generic services are accessed through the header() method (refer to the documentation of the Header class).
