=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqIO::largefasta - method i/o on very large fasta sequence files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from fasta flat
file databases.

This module handles very large sequence files by using the
Bio::Seq::LargePrimarySeq module to store all the sequence data in
a file.  This can be a problem if you have limited disk space on your
computer because this will effectively cause 2 copies of the sequence
file to reside on disk for the life of the
Bio::Seq::LargePrimarySeq object.  The default location for this is
specified by the L<File::Spec>-E<gt>tmpdir routine which is usually /tmp
on UNIX.  If a sequence file is larger than the swap space (capacity
of the /tmp dir) this could cause problems for the machine.  It is
possible to set the directory where the temporary file is located by
adding the following line to your code BEFORE calling next_seq. See
L<Bio::Seq::LargePrimarySeq> for more information.

    $Bio::Seq::LargePrimarySeq::DEFAULT_TEMP_DIR = 'newdir';
