💖 NAME 💖

gt-mergefeat — bestie, this one merges adjacent features that have no children and are the same type inside whatever GFF3 file(s) you hand it. That's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gt mergefeat [option ...] [GFF3_file ...]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so like, the options live in here (yes, in DESCRIPTION, don't @ me, that's just how this page is set up 💅), and they're all iconic in their own little way:

  • -o [filename] — redirect the output into the file you name here (default: undefined, aka nowhere, aka she's just screaming into the void 🫶)
  • -gzip [yes|no] — write the output file gzip compressed (default: no)
  • -bzip2 [yes|no] — write the output file bzip2 compressed (default: no)
  • -force [yes|no] — force writing to the output file, like she will NOT be taking no for an answer (default: no)
  • -help — shows you the help and then dips, exit stage left 🦋
  • -version — spills the version info and then also dips (default behaviour of leaving: yes) 💫
no cap, every one of those yes|no flags defaults to no, so if you want the spicy behaviour you gotta ask for it.
