py21cmfast.wrapper.arrays.ArrayProxy
====================================

.. py:class:: py21cmfast.wrapper.arrays.ArrayProxy(name: str)

   
   Exposes an `OutputStruct`'s `Array` field as a plain numpy array.

   The `Array` itself is stored in a private attrs field (`_<name>`) and remains
   reachable via `OutputStruct.arrays[<name>]`, which is where the memory-management
   API lives. Reading the public attribute gives you the data, loading it from disk
   first if it has been purged.

   Whether that load is *kept* is governed by `config["CACHE_ARRAYS_ON_ACCESS"]`: by
   default the loaded data is cached back onto the struct, so repeated access is
   cheap; with it disabled, each access re-reads from disk and nothing is retained.
   Either way the read is logged at DEBUG level, so unexpected memory growth or
   repeated disk traffic is traceable.
