The Mini-SEED library provides a framework for manipulation of SEED data records including the unpacking and packing of data records. Functionality is also included for managing waveform data as continuous traces.

All structures of SEED 2.4 data records are supported with the following exceptions: Blockette 2000 opaque data which has an unknown data structure by definition and Blockette 405 which depends on full SEED (SEED including full ASCII headers) for a full data description.

The library should work in Linux, BSD (and derivatives like macOS), Solaris and Win32 environments.

The Wiki provides an overview of using the library. For function level documentation, man pages are included in the doc directory.

The releases area contains release versions.

For installation instructions see the INSTALL file. For further information regarding the library interface see the documentation in the 'doc' directory. For example uses of libmseed see the source code in the 'examples' directory.
