=head1 NAME

Bio::Assembly::IO - Handler for Assembly::IO Formats

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::Assembly::IO;

    $in  = Bio::Assembly::IO->new(-file=>"<inputfilename",
                                -format=>'phrap');
    $out = Bio::Assembly::IO->new(-file=>">outputfilename",
                                -format=>'phrap');

    while ( my $seq = $in->next_seq() ) {
       $out->write_seq($seq);
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Bio::Assembly::IO is a handler module for formats in the Assembly::IO set
(e.g. Bio::Assembly::IO::phrap).

The rest of the documentation details each of the object

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : Bio::Assembly::IO->new(-file =>$filename,-format=>'format')
 Function: Returns a new assembly stream
 Returns : A Bio::Assembly::IO::Handler initialised 
           with the appropriate format
 Args    : -file => $filename
           -format => format

=head2 next_assembly

 Title   : next_assembly
 Usage   : $cluster = $stream->next_assembly()
 Function: Reads the next assembly object from the stream and returns it.
 Returns : a Bio::Assembly::ScaffoldI compliant object
 Args    : none

=head2 _load_format_module

 Title   : _load_format_module
 Usage   : *INTERNAL Assembly::IO stuff*
 Function: Loads up (like use) a module at run time on demand
 Example :
 Returns :
 Args    :

=cut

sub _load_format_module {
  my ($self,$format) = @_;
  my $module = "Bio::Assembly::IO::" . $format;
  my $ok;

Exception $@
END
  ;
  }
  return $ok;
}

=head2 _guess_format

 Title   : _guess_format
 Usage   : $obj->_guess_format($filename)
 Function: guess format based on file suffix
 Example :
 Returns : guessed format of filename (lower case)
 Args    :
 Notes   : formats that _filehandle() will guess includes
           only phrap, by now.

=cut
