Group the records of a BAM file based on their flag bits and count the number of records in each group

Description

quickBamFlagSummary groups the records of a BAM file based on their flag bits and counts the number of records in each group.

Usage

quickBamFlagSummary(file, ..., param=ScanBamParam(), main.groups.only=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
quickBamFlagSummary(file, index=file, ..., param=ScanBamParam(),
    main.groups.only=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'list'
quickBamFlagSummary(file, ..., param=ScanBamParam(), main.groups.only=FALSE)

Arguments

file, index	For the character method, the path to the BAM file to read, and to the index file of the BAM file to read, respectively. For the list() method, file is a named list with elements “qname” and “flag” with content as from scanBam.
...	Additional arguments, perhaps used by methods.
param	An instance of ScanBamParam. This determines which records are considered in the counting.
main.groups.only	If TRUE, then the counting is performed for the main groups only.

Value

Nothing is returned. A summary of the counts is printed to the console unless redirected by sink.
