is_rmf

Synopsis

Determine if the crate dataset contains an RMF.

is_rmf(cratedataset)

Description

The is_rmf command returns True if the crate dataset contains an RMF and False otherwise.

Example

>>> cds = read_rmf("src.rmf")
>>> is_rmf(cds)
True

Changes in CIAO 4.4

Input argument

RMF files are now stored as CrateDataset objects rather than Crates. So a RMF file read in by read_file will not return True when passed to is_rmf.

Return value

The return value is now True or False rather than 1 or 0.
