Plugins for use with HTSlib.

The hfile_cip plugin provides access to files encrypted with the European Genome-Phenome Archive's AES-CTR scheme, which usually have the extension .cip. The en-/decryption key is taken from the $HTS_CIP_KEY environment variable.

The hfile_irods plugin provides access to remote data stored in iRODS. It can be built for iRODS 3.x, 4.1.x, or 4.2 onwards, and the resulting plugins can be renamed with version numbers so that they can be installed alongside each other.

When built against iRODS 4.1.x, the plugin is incompatible with HTSlib 1.3.1 and earlier as it needs to be loaded with RTLD_GLOBAL. The hfile_irods_wrapper plugin can be installed in the same directory as hfile_irods to work around this problem and enable the iRODS plugin to be used with these earlier versions of HTSlib.

The hfile_mmap plugin provides access to local files via mmap(2).
