FASTAQ-COUNT_SEQUENCES(1)

✨ NAME ✨

fastaq_count_sequences — bestie, it counts the sequences in your input file 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole vibe: this is a command that lives inside the User Commands manual section (that's the "(1)" thing, iykyk), and its entire personality is counting sequences. that's it. that's the job. no cap.

here's how you call it:

fastaq_count_sequences <infile>

and what does it do with that? it prints the number of sequences in the input file to stdout. just a number, chillin' in your terminal. iconic behaviour honestly 🌸

🎀 positional arguments: 🎀

• infile — the name of the input file, aka the file you want counted. give it the file, get the number. simple as 🫶

⭐ options: ⭐

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then exits. your lil escape hatch whenever you forget how this works 💖

fr fr bestie, that's the whole page. one input file, one number out, one help flag. minimalism is the moment ✨
