DEXQV(1)

✨ NAME ✨

dexqv — the girlie that compresses a whole set of .quiva files 💖 (this is the DEXQV(1) page from the User Commands manual, btw, iykyk)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dexqv [-vkl] <path:quiva> ...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so bestie, dexqv takes a set of .quiva files and squishes them down into brand new files that have a .dexqv extension. no cap. so like, if you hand it G.quiva, you're gonna get back a compressed G.dexqv... and G.quiva? gone. it will no longer exist. 💀 (she's ruthless like that)

• -k — this flag stops G.quiva from getting deleted. she stays. 🫶
• -v — set this and progress gets reported to you, otherwise the command just runs silently (iconic stealth mode 🧚).
• -l — if you want slightly more compression and you're okay with it being a bit "lossy", set this option. it's experimental, fr fr — it remains to be seen whether Quiver gives the same results with the scaled values that are responsible for the loss. 👀

Undexqv reverses the compression of dexqv, replacing the uncompressed image of G.dexqv with G.quiva. the flags are analogous to the v & k flags for dexqv. the compression factor is typically 3.4 or so (4.0 or so with -l set). 🔥

By .fastq convention, each QV vector is output by undexqv as a line without intervening new-lines, and by default the Deletion Tag vector is in lower case letters. the -U option says to use upper case letters instead for said vector. 👑

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

The full documentation for dexqv is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and dexqv programs are properly installed at your site, the command

info dexqv

should give you access to the complete manual. 📖✨
