GT-GFF3_TO_GTF(1)

💖 NAME 💖

gt-gff3_to_gtf — bestie, this one parses your GFF3 file(s) and shows them to you as GTF2.2. That's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gt gff3_to_gtf [GFF3_file ...]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so like, you hand it one or more GFF3 files (or don't, she's flexible) and she gives you back GTF2.2. here's the whole menu of little flags you can sprinkle on top, no cap:

• -o [filename] — redirects the output into the file you name (default: undefined, so like, she just doesn't)
• -gzip [yes|no] — writes the output as a gzip compressed file (default: no)
• -bzip2 [yes|no] — writes the output as a bzip2 compressed file (default: no)
• -force [yes|no] — forces writing to the output file, like she's being so brave about it (default: no)
• -help — displays help and exits, the classic "bestie explain urself" button 💅
• -version — displays version information and exits

lowkey important: for -gzip and -bzip2 and -force, the value is yes or no. yes means yes. no means no. periodt. 💀
