🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the situation, and I'm gonna be so real with you: these programs are not described by the upstream author. that's just the vibe. nobody wrote the lore. 😭

BUT. some information is available via the --help and -h arguments for all these programs. so if you're confused, just ask the program itself — it will talk to you. main character energy honestly.

and listen — if you're using any of these programs in routine, you are requested to provide a seed of a respective man page to the upstream author. like, give back to the community bestie, the man pages aren't gonna write themselves 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

short list, iconic list:

• -h, --help — show a summary of options. the universal "hey what do you do" button 🫶
• -v, --version — show the version of the program. know your queen's era. ⭐

• the author of this package provides a beginner ( http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~guy/exonerate/beginner.html ) and an avanced http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~guy/exonerate/advanced.html ) tutorial on his web pages.

yes, the "avanced" spelling and the slightly unhinged parentheses are exactly how the original rolls, so I'm keeping them character for character. no notes. 💀
