on_tape#

gwpy.io.datafind.on_tape(*files: str) → bool[source]#

Determine whether any of the given files are on tape.

Parameters:

*filesstr: one or more paths to GWF files

Returns:

ontapebool: True if any of the files are determined to be on tape, otherwise False.

Notes

A returned value of False does not necessarily mean that none of the paths are on tape, just that this function couldn’t say that they definitely are on tape.
