/*

	Library function for reading and writing of varios biosignal data formats.
	It provides also one reference implementation for reading and writing of the
	GDF data format [1].

	Features:
	- reading and writing of EDF, BDF, GDF1, GDF2, CWFB, HL7aECG, SCP files
	- reading of ACQ, AINF, BKR, BrainVision, CNT, DEMG, EGI, ETG4000, MFER files
	The full list of supported formats is shown at
	http://pub.ist.ac.at/~schloegl/biosig/TESTED

	implemented functions:
	- SOPEN, SREAD, SWRITE, SCLOSE, SEOF, SSEEK, STELL, SREWIND
