mdtraj.open¶
- mdtraj.open(filename, mode='r', force_overwrite=True, **kwargs)[source]¶
Open a trajectory file-like object
This factor function returns an instance of an open file-like object capable of reading/writing the trajectory (depending on ‘mode’). It does not actually load the trajectory from disk or write anything.
- Parameters:
filename (path-like) – Path to the trajectory file on disk
mode ({'r', 'w'}) – The mode in which to open the file, either ‘r’ for read or ‘w’ for write.
force_overwrite (bool) – If opened in write mode, and a file by the name of filename already exists on disk, should we overwrite it?
kwargs (dict) – Other keyword parameters are passed directly to the file object
- Returns:
fileobject – Open trajectory file, whose type is determined by the filename extension
- Return type:
object
