New to bamtools, alignments, bioinformatics!

[Tonatiuh Pena Centeno]

At the risk of upsetting expert readers, I would like to ask if some
of the API facilities allows to compute the following:

1. The distance separating mated pair reads
2. The insert length separating such reads

I think it's common practice to filter out reads that do not adjust to
the appropriate insert size and mapping distance and from what I
understanding the command line version of bamtools could help with
this type of issue, but am not completely sure.

Regards,
