- htsjdk.samtools.cram.encoding.writer.CramRecordWriter

```
public class CramRecordWriter
extends Object
```
A writer that emits CRAMCompressionRecord into the various streams that represent a Slice's data series blocks. This essentially acts as a bridge between CRAMCompressionRecord fields and the various various data series streams associated with a Slice. It is the inverse of CramRecordReader.
