NAME

       Bio::Index::SwissPfam - Interface for indexing swisspfam files

SYNOPSIS

           use Bio::Index::SwissPfam;
           use strict;

           my $Index_File_Name = shift;
           my $inx = Bio::Index::SwissPfam->new('-filename' => $Index_File_Name,
                                                '-write_flag' => 'WRITE');
           $inx->make_index(@ARGV);

           use Bio::Index::SwissPfam;
           use strict;

           my $Index_File_Name = shift;
           my $inx = Bio::Index::SwissPfam->new('-filename' => $Index_File_Name);

           foreach my $id (@ARGV) {
               my $seq = $inx->fetch($id); # Returns stream
                    while( <$seq> ) {
                        if(/^>/) {
                              print;
                                 last;
                        }
                    }
           }

DESCRIPTION

       SwissPfam is one of the flat files released with Pfam. This modules provides a way of
       indexing this module.

       Inherits functions for managing dbm files from Bio::Index::Abstract.pm, and provides the
       basic funtionallity for indexing SwissPfam files.  Only retrieves FileStreams at the
       moment. Once we have something better (ie, an object!), will use that. Heavily snaffled
       from Index::Fasta system of James Gilbert. Note: for best results 'use strict'.

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

         Usage   : $index->_index_file( $file_name, $i )
         Function: Specialist function to index swisspfam format files.
                   Is provided with a filename and an integer
