What is libxdffileio-dev

xdffileio is a library that provides a unified interface for writing and reading various biosignal file formats in realtime (i.e. streaming). It has been designed to provide a flexible, consistent and generic interface to all supported file formats while minimizing the overhead the function calls: the heaviest operations (type casting, scaling and formatting) are offloaded into a separated thread. This design makes its particularly suitable to be directly used in a data acquisition loop (like in electrophysiology recording or in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)).
The genericity of the interface makes trivial various operations like transformation of a recorded file or its conversion to another file format. xdffileio currently supports EDF, BDF, GDF1 and GDF2 file formats and more will be added in future.
This package contains the files needed to compile and link programs which use xdffileio.
