# pybedtools.bedtool.BedTool.head

BedTool.head(n=10, as_string=False)

  Prints the first n lines or returns them if as_string is True

  Note that this only opens the underlying file (gzipped or not), so it does not check to see if the file is a valid BED file.

      >>> a = pybedtools.example_bedtool('a.bed')
      >>> a.head(2)
