class reader(stfiller):
    """
    This class allows the user to import single dish files
    (rpfits,sdfits,ms).
    The reader reads in integrations from the file and remains at
    the fileposition afterwards.
    Available functions are:

    read() # read until the (current) end of file)

    Example:
        r = reader('/tmp/P389.rpf')
        scans r.read() # reads in the complete file into 'scans'
        print scans    # summarises the contents
        del r          # destroys the reader

    IMPORTANT: Due to limitations in the rpfits library, only one reader
               can be created at a time.
               r = reader('XYZ.rpf')
               r2 = reader('ABC.rpf')
               is NOT possible. This is a limitation affecting
               rpfits ONLY.
