MRTCAL is divided in 2 main libraries:
- the libimbfits reads the IMB-FITS files and fills a memory structure from it,
- the libmrtcal gets the libimbfits memory structure, and use it
to index the files and calibrate them.
When MRTCAL has to deal with several versions of the IMB-FITS
(e.g. V1.35 for HERA and V2 for EMIR), the variations are
hidden in the libimfits so that the libmrtcal does not have to
worry about those details. This means that the memory structure
is unique while the disk structure differ7.1. There are also
other cases when we want to fill memory structures that differ from
the file on disk. All this is described hereafter.
Note that each patch is saved as a warning in the comment field of
each element. Those warning are visible when using the command MDUMP.
