SUFile._read_traces(unpack_headers=False, headonly=False, yield_each_trace=False)[source]¶

Reads the actual traces starting at the current file pointer position to the end of the file.

Parameters:

unpack_header (bool) Determines whether or not all headers will be unpacked during reading the file. Has a huge impact on the memory usage and the performance. They can be unpacked on-the-fly after being read. Defaults to False. headonly (bool) Determines whether or not the actual data records will be unpacked. Useful if one is just interested in the headers. Data will not be unpackable on-the-fly after reading the file. Defaults to False. yield_each_trace (bool) If True, it will yield each trace after it has been read. This enables a simple implementation of a streaming interface to read SEG-Y files. Read traces will no longer be collected in self.traces list if this is set to True.
