Cache manipulation (gwpy.io.cache)

Input/Output utilities for GW Cache files.

A cache file is a specially-formatted ASCII file that contains file paths and associated metadata for those files, designed to make identifying relevant data, and sieving large file lists, easier for the user.

find_contiguous(*caches)	Separate one or more cache entry lists into time-contiguous sub-lists.
flatten(*caches)	Flatten a nested list of cache entries.
is_cache(cache)	Return True if cache is a readable cache file or object.
is_cache_entry(path)	Return True if path can be represented as a cache entry.
read_cache(cachefile, coltype, sort, ...)	Read a LAL- or FFL-format cache file as a list of file paths.
read_cache_entry(line, gpstype)	Read a file path from a line in a cache file.
