\usage{
vec_open_raster(path)
}
\arguments{
\item{path}{Path to a \code{.vec} raster file.}
}
\value{
A \code{vectra_raster} list with elements:
\code{ptr}, \code{width}, \code{height}, \code{n_bands}, \code{tile_size}, \code{dtype}, \code{gt},
\code{epsg}, \code{nodata}, \code{band_names}.
}
\description{
Lazy open: parses the header and tile index but does not decode any
tiles. Returns a list with metadata and an external pointer handle.
The pointer is auto-finalized when garbage collected; call
\code{vec_close_raster()} to release earlier.
}
