generic_dataset::get_stream_info
Return info about the streams attached to a particular
dataset.
Usage:
info=dsref -> get_stream_info(<key>)
Keywords:
index int Set this key to return properties for just one
stream rather than for all streams.
count If set, then return how many streams there are.
panel_count If set, then return how many streams in each
panel of the dataset (returns 0 for simple datasets).
n_panel If set, then return how many panels the datset
has (returns 0 for simple datasets)
names If set, then return the names of the streams.
channel If set, then return the names of the channels.
type If set, then return the types of stream.
references If set, then return the object references (use
with care, destroying the objects will break
the whole dataset).
description If set, then get the IDF description of the stream
id If set, then get the quick type ID of the stream.
derived If set, then get whether the stream(s) are
derived or not.
support_ephemeris If set, then return whether the
streams can be plotted against
ephemeris quantities.
hidden If set, then return the state of the hidden
