sd.list_files - Function

5.1.1 Return list of files readable by sd tool
Description

Return a list files readable by asap, such as MS, rpf, sdfits, mbf, asap. The method looks a directory that is indicated by path argument, and searches files with extension specified by suffix. Allowed extensions are:

rpf — RPFITS (default)
rpf.1 — RPFITS
rpf.2 — RPFITS
sdf — SDFITS
sdfits – SDFITS
mbf — MBFITS
asap — Scantable
ms — Measurement Set

Note that the method just checks the extension of the file name. Thus, the returned list doesn’t contains files that don’t have the above extensions even if they are readable.
