Docstring

Method for constructing a segment list from
LOSC data files.  By default, the method uses
files in the current working directory to
construct a segment list.

If a FileList is passed in the flag FILELIST,
then those files will be searched for segments
passing the DQ flag passed as the FLAG argument.

START is the start time GPS
STOP is the stop time GPS
STRAIN_CHAN is the channel name of the strain vector in GWF files.
DQ_CHAN is the channel name of the data quality vector in GWF files.
INJ_CHAN is the channel name of the injection vector in GWF files.
