✨ MassXpert3 (1) — General Commands Manual ✨

okay bestie, this is the manual page for MassXpert3 💖 It's all about modelling linear polymers, simulating chemical reactions and predicting mass spectrometric data 🧚

💅 NAME 💅

MassXpert3 — Model linear polymers, simulate chemical reactions and predict mass spectrometric data 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

This is how you summon it 🔮

massxpert3 [options]  [filename ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Bestie, this page is the quick version of the massxpert3 command, which runs the MassXpert3 application software. It's a module inside the MsXpertSuite software suite, so it's literally part of a bigger squad 👑

This program lets you model linear polymer chemistries using its own dedicated grammar 🧬 Once you've defined the polymer chemistry you're after, you can use it to write polymer sequence files. Those files are your starting point for simulating a whole bunch of chemical reactions on that polymer sequence. It's giving main character energy ✨ The software is made up of four main submodules:

• XpertDef — the place to define brand new polymer chemistries 🌈
• XpertCalc — the place to run any mass calculation while taking advantage of the polymer chemistries you've defined 🧮
• XpertEdit — the place to edit polymer sequences for any specific polymer chemistry, and to graphically run a wide array of chemical reactions along with their mass spectrum simulations 🎨
• XpertMiner — the place to compare any number of mass-to-ratio (m/z) lists with maximum flexibility 🔍

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• ?, -h, --help — Pull up the help message 🆘
• -c, --config — Show the program configuration as it was at build time, plus the Qt version used to build it 🛠️
• -v, --version — Print the version of the software, along with the version of the Qt libraries it was built with 🏷️
• -l, --license — Print the license of this software 📜
• filename ... — One or more files to open in the sequence editor 📂

📚 Bibliographic reference to be cited 📚

🌈 Useful reading 🌈

The program is fully documented in the massXpert3 User Manual 📖 It's packaged in massxpert3-doc, and you can grab it as a PDF file or as HTML files in /usr/share/doc/massxpert3. Read it, you won't regret it 🤓
