shift_contig_tags

#include <tagUtils.h>

void shift_contig_tags(
        GapIO  *io,
        int     contig,
        int     posn,
        int     dist);

This function moves tags within a contig with number contig. All tags starting at position posn, or to the right of posn are moved to the right by dist bases. dist should not be a negative value.

The function is used internally by (for example) algorithms to add pads to the consensus or for joing contigs.
