💖 GT-COMPREADS(1) — the girlies' guide to gt-compreads 💖

okay so. bestie. welcome to gt-compreads, part of the GenomeTools manual. this is the lil entry point that calls a fastq file compression tool. that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gt compreads [option ...] tool [argument ...]

so it's gt, then compreads, then optionally a bunch of options, then the tool you wanna run, then that tool's *argument*s. that's it. that's the shape of it. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the options (yes there are only two, we love a low-maintenance queen) 👑

  • -help — shows you the help, then dips. exit stage left. 💅
  • -version — shows you the version info, then also dips. ✨

🫶 Tools: 🫶

these are the actual tools you can hand to gt compreads, no cap:

  • compress
  • decompress
  • refcompress
  • refdecompress

pick one, give it its *argument*s, and let it cook. 🔥

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? not me finding a bug 🙈 — report it over at https://github.com/genometools/genometools/issues. the devs will literally thank you for it. fr fr.

ngl, this page is tiny but it's doing exactly what it needs to. no filler, all main character energy. 👑
