5.6. CBFlib: an ANSI C library for manipulating image data
P. J. Ellis and H. J. Bernstein
Abstract
CBFlib is a library of ANSI C functions providing a simple mechanism for accessing crystallographic binary files (CBFs) and image-supporting CIF (imgCIF) files. The CBFlib application programming interface (API) consists of a set of low-level functions suitable for parsing and manipulating arbitrary input in CIF or CBF format, and a set of high-level functions based on the CBF/imgCIF dictionary and used to support processing of image data files.
