💖 KMC_DUMP(1) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're doing kmc_dump from the kmc_dump manual page and honestly? it's giving ✨textual extraction✨ and I'm obsessed 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kmc_dump — list k-mers from a kmc-generated database 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — KMC's whole end product is a database of k-mers stored in compact binary form. like, slay, but also… you can't just open that in your notes app, bestie 😭

that's where kmc_dump comes in. this program lets you produce a textual list of k-mers together with their counters for the analysis you ran. it's the glow-up from cryptic binary to readable text, and honestly? main character energy 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kmc_dump [options] <kmc_database> <output_file>

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -ci<value> — exclude k-mers occurring less than <value> times 🙈 (bye bye, little rare ones)
• -cx<value> — exclude k-mers occurring more of than <value> times 💀 (yes bestie, "more of" — that's the original wording, no cap, I'm not fixing it, I'm just reporting it fr fr)

⭐ Parameters: ⭐

• <kmc_database> — kmer_counter's output 🧚 (that's the compact binary database we were talking about)

ngl, note that <output_file> shows up in the synopsis but doesn't get its own line down here. just passing along the lore exactly as it is, bestie 💜
