✨ NAME ✨

debruijn — de Bruijn sequence generator 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

debruijn [-] -a str -n k

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

debruijn generates — on standard output — a string over the alphabet you specify, and that string contains every possible word (aka substring) of the length you specify, exactly once. no cap, every single one, one time only. 👑

note bestie: substrings are not taken to wrap around, so the first k-1 characters repeat at the end. that's just how it is, periodt. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

a summary of options is included below. here's the lil rundown, bestie 💖

  • - — print usage message. like, "help me help you" energy.
  • -a str — Alphabet. supply ncbistdaa or ncbi2na for standard alphabets, or supply your own alphabet. you do you, gorgeous. 🌈
  • -n k — Word size. how long are the substrings? that's the vibe check. ✨
