🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, this is the manual for bam2starch_sge — that's version 2.4.42+dfsg, no cap 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bam2starch_sge [--help] [--clean] <input-indexed-bam-file> [output-starch-file]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: you hand over the name of an indexed BAM file and it makes you a Starch archive, except it does it using the cluster 👑 like, main character energy but make it distributed.

🫶 heads up bestie: stdin isn't supported through this wrapper script — but lowkey it's fine, Starch supports it natively. periodt.

drop in --clean if you want it to remove <input-indexed-bam-file> after it's done starching it up. like, yeet the original once the archive exists 💅

you can also pass in the name of the output Starch archive you want created. if you don't? no worries, the output just gets the same name as the input file with an extra

'.starch' ending 🎀

and if your input file ends with '.bam', that bit gets stripped off first. iconic behaviour fr fr.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
