Detailed Description

This is the primary starting point for processing FLEXPART output.
The Header class ( :class:`Structure` ) behaves like a dictionary. 
It contains all the metadata from the simulation run as read from the
"header" or "header_nest" binary files from the model output.

This version is using the BinaryFile class rather than FortFlex. 

Usage::

    > H = pf.Header(inputpath)
    > H.keys() #provides a list of keys available

Returns a dictionary

    H = dictionary like object with all the run metadata. TODO: Fill in keys.

.. note::
    **This function is in development**

    This function is being developed so that there is no dependence on
    using f2py to compile the FortFlex module. It is working using the
    :class:`BinaryFile`, but is notably slower than :class:`FortFlex`. 
    Please report any bugs found.
