GATHERSTATS(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet gatherstats.pl — she gathers stats from all sorts of sources 💖 no cap, that's literally her whole thing.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gatherstats.pl <input1> [input2 ...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand her some inputs, she goes to work 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

so like. the input can be any bunch of files, or directories 🫶 — no judgement, she's not picky. she'll scan them for files from the various Murasaki programs, like filterstats and stdout, etc. ykwim, the usual suspects ✨

and then the actual options, the moment you've been waiting for:

• --loadseqs — turns on length checking from .seqs files 🧚 makes her double-check those lengths, slay.
• --output — sends the output to a file instead of STDOUT 🎀 so if you're over the terminal screen moment and want it saved, this is your girl.

ngl if you don't pass --output, she's printing straight to STDOUT. main character behaviour fr fr 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this iconic little number ships with perl v5.40.1 and the date on it is 2026-08-12 — go forth and gather those stats 🌈🦋💜
