BAM2STARCH_GNUPARALLEL(1)

💅 bam2starch_gnuParallel 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for bam2starch_gnuParallel, and it's literally version 2.4.42+dfsg so you KNOW it's the real one ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bam2starch_gnuParallel [--help] [--clean] <input-indexed-bam-file>
[output-starch-file]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: you hand it the name of an indexed BAM file, and it goes and creates a Starch file for you, using GNU Parallel to do the heavy lifting 🔥

🚨 real talk: stdin is not supported through this wrapper script. like, at all. don't even try it, bestie 😭

If you add --clean, it will remove <input-indexed-bam-file> after it's done starching it up. poof, gone, no takebacks 💀

You can also pass in the name of the output Starch archive you want created — your choice, your main character moment 👑

Otherwise? the output gets the same name as the input file, but with an extra

'.bed' ending.

And if your input file already ends with .bam, that part gets stripped off first ✂️ no double endings here, that would be giving mess.
