WFDB_Anninfo

Usage: | `A = WFDB_Anninfo(N);` |
Input: | `N`: number of Anninfo structures to be created (number of annotation files to be opened) |
Output: | `S`: Anninfo structure(s) |

Use this function to create Anninfo structures to be passed as input to `WFDB_annopen`. Anninfo structures have two fields:

`name` | string | annotator name; defaults set by WFDB_Anninfo are `a0`, `a1`, .... |
`stat` | string | input/output indicator (either ``WFDB_READ`' or ``WFDB_WRITE`'); default is ``WFDB_READ`' |

The annotator name identifies a set of annotations; usually the name is that of the creator of the annotations, either a program or a person. The annotator name is the suffix of the annotation file's name; for example, the annotation file `100s.atr` is a set of annotations for record 100s, with the annotator name ``atr`'. The application may change the `name` to any string containing letters, numerals, and the `_' (underscore) character. Avoid names that are used as a suffix for another file type. The application should change the `stat` string for any output annotators to ``WFDB_WRITE`'. Any changes must be made before invoking `WFDB_annopen`; later changes have no effect.
