## Example

It works by utilizing ObsPy’s `read_events()` function.

    >>> import obspy
    >>> cat = obspy.read_events("/path/to/test.scardec")
    >>> print(cat)
    1 Event(s) in Catalog:
    2014-01-25T05:14:18.000000Z |  -7.985, +109.265 | 6.202 mw

The event will contain one origins with a moment rate function.

    >>> print(cat[0])
    Event:  2014-01-25T05:14:18.000000Z |  -7.985, +109.265 | 6.202 mw

                         resource_id: ResourceIdentifier(id="...")
                          event_type: 'earthquake'
                 preferred_origin_id: ResourceIdentifier(id="...")
              preferred_magnitude_id: ResourceIdentifier(id="...")
        preferred_focal_mechanism_id: ResourceIdentifier(id="...")
                                ---------
                  event_descriptions: 1 Elements
                            comments: 1 Elements
                    focal_mechanisms: 1 Elements
                             origins: 1 Elements
                          magnitudes: 1 Elements

This module also offers write support for the SCARDEC format.

    >>> cat.write("output/SCARDEC_file", format='SCARDEC')
