52 // <etymology>
53 // SDFITSTable is derived from FITSTable. It contains additional
54 // checks and behaviour appropriate to the Single Dish FITS Convention
55 // hence this is a Single Dish FITS Table, or SDFITSTable.
56 // </etymology>
57 //
58 // <synopsis>
59 // This class behaves much like FITSTable. It additionally verifies
60 // that the indicated HDU in the input FITS file follows the SDFITS
61 // convention (it has all of the required columns) and it treats
62 // keywords as virtual columns when appropriate. These virtual
63 // columns will appear as fields in the currentRecord and description
64 // and will NOT appear in the keywords.
65 // </synopsis>
66 //
67 // <example>
68 // </example>
69 //
70 // <motivation>
71 // It was useful to encapsulate this behaviour in a class so that
72 // the checks on a valid SDFITS table and the treatment of keywords
73 // as virtual columns would not need to appear everywhere it might
74 // be used.
