🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀
like… that's the whole vibe. `-length` with your *n*, then as many `<fastq_file>`s as your little heart desires (at least one, obviously 💅).

# ✨ DESCRIPTION ✨
the options, queen. here's the rundown:
- **`-length [value]`** — the <hotpink>minimum number of chars</hotpink> to be chosen (default: `undefined`). yeah, default is literally undefined, so bestie… you gotta pass this one. 🙈
- **`-help`** — displays help and then exits. the "i need a minute" option 🫶
- **`-version`** — displays version information and then exits. for when you gotta know which era we're in 👑
