libhandlegraph: A handle-based abstraction for graph access

This library defines a set of interfaces for "Handle Graphs": genome variation graphs where all access to the graphs is mediated by opaque "handle" objects.

It is primarily used in vg as an abstraction layer over different backing graph implementations.

Build Instructions

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

To install to the default prefix (/lib):

make install

Or to another prefix:

make DESTDIR=/another/prefix install

Usage Instructions

There are headers corresponding to the different handle graph interface types:

#include <handlegraph/handle_graph.hpp>
#include <handlegraph/mutable_handle_graph.hpp>
#include <handlegraph/mutable_path_deletable_handle_graph.hpp>
...

The classes live in the handlegraph namespace.

To link against the library (which contains the default implementations of methods and operators on handles), use -lhandlegraph.
