This is a boolean attribute which indicates whether the
Object data being read through a
Channel are inter-mixed with other, irrelevant, external
data.
If Skip is zero (the default), then the source of input data is expected to contain descriptions of AST
Objects and comments and nothing else (if anything else is read, an error will result). If Skip is
non-zero, then any non-Object data encountered between Objects will be ignored and simply skipped
over in order to reach the next Object.
Channel
All
Channels have this attribute.
The FitsChan class sets the default value of this attribute to
1, so that all irrelevant FITS headers will normally be ignored.
The YamlChan class
ignores this attribute.
