Merges record files.

Merges multiple record files where each file overwrites overlapping data of the previous files.

Warning

Only binary data is kept; metadata will be overwritten by the call to Record.build_standalone().

  • output_file (str) – Path of the output file. It can target an input file.

  • input_types (list of types) – Selects the record type for each of the sequences in data_records. None will guess from file extension.

  • split_kwargs (dict) – Keyword arguments for Record.split().

  • build_args (list) – Positional arguments for Record.build_standalone().

  • build_kwargs (dict) – Keyword arguments for Record.build_standalone().
