FUSE-SEGMENTS(1)

✨ FUSE-SEGMENTS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual 💖 this one's a lil baby page but it's so useful, trust.

🌸 NAME 🌸

fuse-segments — the girl who takes adjacent or overlapping integral segments and squishes them together into one 💅 consolidation queen behavior, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fuse-segments

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, no notes 🎀 she just runs.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea ☕ fuse-segments reads a tab-delimited table from standard input, okay? and the first two columns of that table — and honestly they might be the only two columns, she's not judging — contain the endpoints of integral segments 👑

then she does her thing: she consolidates adjacent or overlapping segments ✨ like, if two of them are touching or stepping on each other's toes, boom, fused. one segment. iconic.

and then she writes the result out to standard output 🫶 in the same general format as before, except:

• all the segments come out in forward order ⭐ (no chaos, we love order here)
• and there's only a length column riding along with the endpoints — that's it, that's the whole accompaniment 🎀

no cap: the output is a tab-delimited table too, just tidier and fused. she ate and left no crumbs fr fr 💀
