Q&A

[achaikou]

3 sections that I felt are missing from documentation and which I myself would like to see as a user.

• Section for people who landed up on this project page but are totally clueless about what's going on and need to figure out if they should investigate dlisio further.
• Section for people who received one of our errors and are actually at loss with regards to what they should do about it. (aka the most common situation that I saw which lead to the provided error)
• Section for some future dlisio developers. Most likely no-one ever will find it useful, but as I already acquired some dlis debugging mindset, it probably makes sense to share it.

Feel free to completely annihilate small/big/all parts of this PR. Mark everything that seems unclear on first read, it will likely be the same for users.

Closes #102
Closes #217

To be updated some undefined time in the future:

• Move "Can I be sure that dlisio presents me the data correctly?" section to Readme
• Remove everything else from Q&A, thus dropping explanations for clueless repo viewers
• Add Errors explanation section under dlis, while removing everything that doesn't correspond to literal error string (aka performance messages).
• (Check that messages still make sense)
• Put investigation guide in the docs, but never link it publicly.

Hello! I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but can I create DLIS files using DLISio?

[achaikou]

Hi @lucasblanes !

No, this is a place for proposed changes to the code. But I see why the title caused confusion :)
Better place to ask questions is Issues as it can be searched by others wondering the same.

To the question itself:
no, dlisio can't write dlis files. At the moment there are no plans to support it in any foreseeable future.

Hello @achaikou ! Sorry for the confusion and thank you for your answer!
