iload(paths, segment=None, format='detect', database=None, check=True, commit=True, skip_unchanged=False, content=['waveform', 'station', 'channel', 'response', 'event'])

Iteratively load content or index/reindex meta-information from files.

Parameters:

• paths – iterator yielding file names to load from or pyrocko.squirrel.Selection object
• segment (str) – file-specific segment identifier (con only be used when loading from a single file.
• format (str) – file format identifier or 'detect' for autodetection. When loading from a selection, per-file format assignation is taken from the hint in the selection and this flag is ignored.
• database (pyrocko.squirrel.Database) – database to use for meta-information caching
• check (bool) – if True, investigate modification time and file sizes of known files to debunk modified files (pessimistic mode), or False to deactivate checks (optimistic mode)
• commit (bool) – flag, whether to commit updated information to the meta-information database
• skip_unchanged (bool) – if True, only yield index nuts for new / modified files
• content – list of strings, selection of content types to load

This generator yields pyrocko.squirrel.Nut objects for individual pieces of information found when reading the given files. Such a nut may represent a waveform, a station, a channel, an event or other data type. The nut itself only contains the meta-information. The actual content information is attached to the nut if requested. All nut meta-information is stored in the squirrel meta-information database. If possible, this function avoids accessing the actual disk files and provides the requested information straight from the database. Modified files are recognized and reindexed as needed.
