💖 KMC_TOOLS-DUMP(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the kmc_tools-dump page — yes that's the manual name, we're keeping it, it's part of the lore 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

kmc_tools-dump — dump k-mers and counters to a text file. that's it. that's the job. no cap. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kmc_tools dump [dump_params] <inputdb> [input_params] <output>

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This command produces a text dump of the KMC database. literally just spilling the whole database out as text. it's giving "let me tell you everything" energy and honestly? iconic. 👑

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

For each input there are additional parameters, so listen up:

• -ci<value> — exclude k-mers occurring less than <value> times. too rare? not invited to the party. 🚫
• -cx<value> — exclude k-mers occurring more than <value> times. too famous? also not invited. it's a vibe check, and some k-mers just don't pass. 😭

Dump operation parameters:

• -s — sorted output. because sometimes you want your k-mers in order, alphabetized, main character energy, organized like a notes app that actually got finished. ⭐

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

kmc_tools dump wy_kmc2 -ci3 -cx1000 dump.txt

see? wy_kmc2 goes in, everything between 3 and 1000 occurrences stays, and it all lands in dump.txt. slay. 💖
