+qfits is a stand-alone library written in C to interact with files
+complying with the FITS format. It is fast and portable over any kind
+of POSIX-compliant platform.
+Rather than going through the FITS format specification and trying to
+implement some support for everything that is described there, this
+library was built day after day upon request. This guarantees that
+all the functions you will find in the library have been written for
+some purpose in the VLT pipeline context, and all of them are used
+daily in a production environment.
