USAGE:

$ CTDConverter [FORMAT] [ARGUMENTS ...]

FORMAT can be either one of the supported output formats: cwl, galaxy. 🌈

There is one converter for each supported FORMAT, each taking a different set of arguments. Please consult the detailed documentation for each of the converters. Nevertheless, all converters have the following common parameters/options: 👑

I — Parsing a single CTD file and convert it:

$ CTDConverter [FORMAT] -i [INPUT_FILE] -o [OUTPUT_FILE]

II — Parsing several CTD files, output converted wrappers in a given folder:

$ CTDConverter [FORMAT] -i [INPUT_FILES] -o [OUTPUT_DIRECTORY]

For more detailed help see README.md in the root folder as well as galaxy/README.md or cwl/README.md. 📚

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

  • FORMAT — the output format, and yes it's mandatory bestie (no skipping it 💀). Can be one of: cwl, galaxy.

💜 options 💜

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit ✨
  • -i, --input INPUT_FILES [INPUT_FILES ...] — list of CTD files to convert 🦋
  • -o, --output-destination OUTPUT_DESTINATION — if multiple input files are given, then a folder in which all converted files will be generated is expected; if a single input file is given, then a destination file is expected. (so like... folder for many, filename for one, iykyk 💅)
  • -x, --default-executable-path DEFAULT_EXECUTABLE_PATH — use this executable path when <executablePath> is not present in the CTD 🔥
  • -p, --hardcoded-parameters HARDCODED_PARAMETERS — file containing hardcoded values for the given parameters. Run with -h or --help to see a brief example on the format of this file 👀
  • -V, --validation-schema XSD_LOCATION — location of the schema to use to validate CTDs. If not provided, no schema validation will take place 😭 (yes, it just vibes without validation)
  • -v, --version — show program's version number and exit ⭐
not me ending the page on the cutest note possible 🎀 this was CTDConverter, version cwl 3.0a1, dated April 2026 — slay, periodt, go convert something iconic 💖🦋✨
