GT-MD5_TO_ID(1)

✨ GT-MD5_TO_ID ✨

okay bestie, welcome to gt-md5_to_id — a little tool living in the GenomeTools manual, and she's here to do ONE job and do it cute 💅

She takes the MD5 fingerprints that are being used as sequence IDs in your GFF3 files and swaps them out for "regular" ones. that's it. that's the whole vibe. slay 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gt md5_to_id [option ...] [GFF3_file ...]

so you call her like that, feed her some GFF3 files, and she does her thing. periodt 💖

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the full rundown of every option she takes — no skips, no shortcuts, we're doing all of them 🫶

• -v [yes|no] — be verbose (default: no). turn this on if you want her to actually tell you what's happening instead of being all mysterious.
• -o [filename] — redirect output to the specified file (default: undefined). so like, if you don't set this, bestie, there's no output file, ok?
• -gzip [yes|no] — write a gzip compressed output file (default: no). zip it, squeeze it, compress it 🦋
• -bzip2 [yes|no] — write a bzip2 compressed output file (default: no). the other compression flavor, also iconic ✨
• -force [yes|no] — force writing to the output file (default: no). she will not overwrite stuff unless you literally tell her to, no cap.
• -help — display help and exit. the classic "wait what does this do again" move 💀
• -version — display version information and exit. she'll tell you who she is 👑

lowkey important: those [yes|no] brackets mean you literally write yes or no, not vibes. defaults are defaults for a reason bestie 🙈
