LOKI(1)

📦 version 2.4.7.4, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 LOKI(1) — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, because we're talking about loki — a whole General Commands Manual situation — and also its little helper prep. both of them live in the same manpage and honestly? iconic of them.

✨ NAME ✨

loki — reversible jump MCMC linkage analysis in general pedigrees 🧬👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

prep controlfile
loki -v
loki paramfile

that's it. that's the whole vibe. three little lines. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents briefly the prep and loki commands. note the word briefly — there are other post-hoc analysis scripts out there too, so if you want the full lore you gotta go read the complete documentation, iykyk. 📚

this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution specifically because the original program straight up does not have a manual page. not one. instead it has documentation in PostScript format — yes, that PostScript — see below bestie, it's down there in SEE ALSO. 🙈

now for the main character energy: loki, written by Simon C. Heath, implements segregation and linkage analysis on pedigrees that can be possibly large and complex, using a Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique. no cap, that's the actual method. 🔥

and prep? prep does the previous data preparation. it's the little sibling who gets everything ready before the big entrance. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -v — show version of the program. that's it, that's the option, she's simple and she's perfect. ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the programs are documented fully in /usr/share/doc/loki-doc/ — but only if you've installed the loki-doc package. so like, go install it first, bestie, otherwise you're just staring at an empty folder wondering where the lore went. 😭

🫶 AUTHOR 🫶

this manual page was written by Carleos Artime <carleos@uniovi.es>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system — but it may be used by others too. sharing is caring, periodt. 💜

okay so that's the whole page!! you made it to the end, I'm so proud of you fr fr 🌈

and a lil sign-off for the record: this was the General Commands Manual, dated 2004-09-24, and it's LOKI(1) the whole way through. bye bestie, go run loki paramfile and thrive 💖🦋🌸
