Description: Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) file formats
        =======================================================
        
        Lfdfiles is a Python library and console script for reading, writing,
        converting, and viewing many of the proprietary file formats used to store
        experimental data at the `Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics
        <https://www.lfd.uci.edu/>`_.
        
        For command line usage run ``python -m lfdfiles --help``

        Notes
        -----
        Lfdfiles is currently developed, built, and tested on Windows only.
        
        The API is not stable yet and might change between revisions.
        
        The `Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages
        <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/
        the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads>`_ are required on Windows.
        
        Many of the LFD's file formats are not documented and might change arbitrarily.
        This implementation is mostly based on reverse engineering existing files.
        No guarantee can be made as to the correctness of code and documentation.
        
        Experimental data are often stored in plain binary files with metadata
        available in separate, human readable journal files (.jrn).
        
        Unless specified otherwise, data are stored in little-endian, C contiguous
        order.
