public StockholmStructure parse(String filename)
                         throws IOException,
                                ParserException
```
    Parses a Stockholm file and returns a StockholmStructure object with its content.
    This function is meant to be used for single access to specific file and it closes the file after doing its assigned job. Any subsequent call to parseNext(int) will throw an exception or will function with unpredicted behavior.
    
    Parameters:
    
    filename - complete(?) path to the file from where to read the content
    
    Returns:
    
    stockholm file content
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - when an exception occurred while opening/reading/closing the file+
    
    ParserException - if unexpected format is encountered
  - parse
```
public List<StockholmStructure> parse(String filename,
                                      int max)
                               throws IOException,
                                      ParserException
```
    Parses a Stockholm file and returns a StockholmStructure object with its content.
    This function doesn't close the file after doing its assigned job; to allow for further calls of parseNext(int).
    
    Parameters:
    
    filename - file from where to read the content. see InputStreamProvider for more details.
    
    max - maximum number of files to read, INFINITY for all.
    
    Returns:
    
    a vector of StockholmStructure containing parsed structures.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - when an exception occurred while opening/reading/closing the file.
    
    ParserException - if unexpected format is encountered

public StockholmStructure parse(InputStream inStream)
                         throws ParserException,
                                IOException
```
    parses InputStream and returns a the first contained alignment in a StockholmStructure object. Used mainly for multiple files within the same input stream, (e.g. when reading from Pfam flat files.
    This method leaves the stream open for further calls of parseNext(int).
    
    Parameters:
    
    inStream - the InputStream containing the file to read.
    
    Returns:
    
    a StockholmStructure object representing file contents.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
    
    ParserException

public List<StockholmStructure> parse(InputStream inStream,
                                      int max)
                               throws IOException
```
    parses an InputStream and returns at maximum max objects contained in that file.
    This method leaves the stream open for further calls of parse(InputStream, int) (same function) or parseNext(int).
    
    Parameters:
    
    inStream - the stream to parse
    
    max - maximum number of structures to try to parse, INFINITY to try to obtain as much as possible.
    
    Returns:
    
    a List of StockholmStructure objects. If there are no more structures, an empty list is returned.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - in case an I/O Exception occurred.
    
    See Also:
    
    parseNext(int)
  - parseNext
```
public List<StockholmStructure> parseNext(int max)
                                   throws IOException
```
    Tries to parse and return as maximum as max structures in the last used file or input stream.
    Please consider calling either parse(InputStream), parse(InputStream, int), or parse(String, int) before calling this function.
    
    Parameters:
    
    max -
    
    Returns:
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
