FFINDEX_FROM_TSV(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ffindex_from_tsv — populate index from TSV file 💖

okay so real talk, this is the ffindex_from_tsv page from the User Commands girlies, and she's here to take your TSV and turn it into a whole index. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's the vibe, the usage line, literally copy it into your terminal exactly like this:

USAGE: debian/tmp/usr/bin/ffindex_from_tsv -v | [-s] [-k INDEX]
data_filename index_filename fasta_filename

and now the flags, bestie, one by one, no skipping, no cap:

• -k INDEX — this one picks which field is the key. it's a field index counting from 1 (so like, one-based, not zero-based, don't come for me), and the default is 1 ✨
• -s — sorts the index file. and honestly? usually you want this. like genuinely, just take it. it's giving organized. 🔥

Designed and implemented by Andreas Hauser <andy@splashground.de>. iconic behavior honestly, we love a builder 👑

💀 BUGS 💀

not me asking you to please send feedback, and yes user feedback is welcome — literally all of it. especially:

• bugs 🙈
• performance issues 😭
• and last but not least, the convenience of the programs and API (yes this counts, it's a whole category, iykyk)

🦋 so like, that's the page 🦋

this was ffindex_from_tsv, and the source/version line goes a little something like ffindex_from_tsv version 1.00,... dated January 2026 — and yeah, the header/footer of this whole thing name-drops FFINDEX_FROM_TSV(1) on both ends, cute little matching set 💖

go populate that index. slay. 🫶🌈⭐
