CANON-GFF3(1)

💖 CANON-GFF3(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to canon-gff3 — it's a User Commands moment, she lives in section 1 of the manual, and she is here to make your GFF3 files canonical. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

canon-gff3 — create canonical GFF3 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

canon-gff3 [options] gff3file1 [gff3file2 ...]

so like, you hand her a bunch of GFF3 files, she does her thing. iconic. 🎀

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

This is where the whole options menu lives, and yes we are going through every single one, because we don't skip and we don't gatekeep. 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -h, --help — prints this help message and then dips, exiting immediately. the "hey bestie, what does this do" button. 🙈
• -i, --infer — for transcript features that don't have an explicitly declared gene feature as a parent, she'll just create that feature on-the-fly. making it up as she goes, and honestly? slaying. 🔥
• -o, --outfile: STRING — the name of the file where the GFF3 data gets written. default is the terminal, aka stdout, so if you don't say anything she just yells it into the void (the void being your screen). 💀
• -s, --source: STRING — resets the source of every single feature to whatever value you give her. one value, all the features, uniform. periodt. 💅
• -v, --version — prints the version number and exits. just a little "hi, this is me" moment. 🫶

ngl bestie, if you forget your GFF3 file argument she cannot help you — the files are literally the whole point. feed her the gff3file1 [gff3file2 ...] she's asking for. 🍓

and that's the whole page!! she's canon-gff3 0.15.1, dated January 2016, and she's still out here canon-ing GFF3s like a legend. go forth and canonicalise, bestie. 💜✨🎀🦋🌸🌈⭐
