ASCII HEADER(5SP)

NAME
AsciiHeader - ascii header file format

SYNOPSIS
#include <speech.h>

DESCRIPTION
AsciiHeader is a header that consists of key-value pairs and is terminated by "END OF HEADER" (spaces and case are important). All data stored in the header is ascii.

The key-value pairs have two forms:
    key: value
and
    key:
    Begin
    value1
    value2
    .
    .
    .
    valueN
    End

The first form of the key-value pair is used when the value part for a key has only one value. The second form is used when the value part is an array of vaules.

EXAMPLES
A typical file for a 2d data would look like:

    Rows: 10
    Columns: 5
    Type: short
    RowLabels:

    four

    End
    END OF HEADER
