This class is used internally by the LogicalParser to read the physical structure of the PQDIF file. If your goal is to read data from a PQD file into an application, you probably do not want to instantiate the physical parser directly. Instead, the logical parser will apply the rules governing the logical structure of the PQDIF file to make the data more readily usable by an application that will be processing that data.

The following example of usage was adapted from the PQDIFDump utility, which represents a bare minimum level of effort to read an uncompressed PQDIF file and display its contents in a console application.

string filePath = args[0];
await using PhysicalParser parser = new PhysicalParser(filePath);
await parser.OpenAsync();

while (parser.HasNextRecord())
{
    Record record = await parser.GetNextRecordAsync();
    Console.WriteLine(record);
    Console.WriteLine();
}
