public static enum VcfHeaderInfo.VcfInfoNumber extends Enum<VcfHeaderInfo.VcfInfoNumber>
Number of values in an INFO field. Reference http://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/VCFv4.2.pdf Number of items in an INFO field. The Number entry is an Integer that describes the number of values that can be included with the INFO field. For example, if the INFO field contains a single number, then this value should be 1; if the INFO field describes a pair of numbers, then this value should be 2 and so on. There are also certain special characters used to define special cases: - If the field has one value per alternate allele then this value should be `A'. - If the field has one value for each possible allele (including the reference), then this value should be `R'. - If the field has one value for each possible genotype (more relevant to the FORMAT tags) then this value should be `G'. - If the number of possible values varies, is unknown, or is unbounded, then this value should be `.'. The `Flag' type indicates that the INFO field does not contain a Value entry, and hence the Number should be 0 in this case.
