CHECKSUB(1)

💖 CHECKSUB(1) — NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the CHECKSUB(1) page from the NCBI Tools User's Manual ✨. This one's all about checksub, and she's literally a validator for NCBI ASN.1 Seq-submit data. no cap.

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

checksub [-] [-b] -i filename [-o filename]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: checksub attempts to read a file that's purporting to contain an NCBI Seq-submit record in text or binary form, and then it prints it back out. If the file is invalid, checksub reports an error instead of producing normal output. That's the whole main character move. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

A summary of options is included below, and yes bestie, we're listing every single one:

• - — Print usage message. 👑
• -b — Input data is binary. 💾
• -i filename — Read input from filename. 🍓
• -o filename — Print data (in text form) to filename rather than stdout. 🌈
