Research direction
Start by reviewing htslib's BAM input APIs and how they currently accept a filename. Determine whether a C++/Qt byte array can be passed through an existing entry point or requires a new interface. Done means a documented, usable way to read BAM data from bytes rather than only from a filename.

Description

Is there a way to read a bam with htslib from the bytes array instead the filename ?
