SAMTagUtil

java.lang.Object
- htsjdk.samtools.SAMTagUtil

```
public class SAMTagUtil
extends java.lang.Object
```
Facility for converting between String and short representation of a SAM tag. short representation is used by SAM JDK internally and is much more efficient. Callers are encouraged to obtain the short value for a tag of interest once, and then use the SAMRecord attribute API that takes shorts rather than Strings.
