💖 MAF-JOIN(1) 💖

okay bestie, listen up — this one lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it's lowkey iconic. it's giving "tiny tool, big job." let's get into it. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

maf-join — join two or more sets of MAF-format multiple alignments. ✨

like. you have several little MAF files. you want them to be one MAF file. boom. that's her. that's the whole girl. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

maf-join sorted-file1.maf sorted-file2.maf ...

so the vibe is: you hand her a whole list of MAF files, and yes they need to be sorted (the names literally say sorted-file1.maf, sorted-file2.maf, she is not being subtle, she is telling you fr fr 🙈). and then ... because she does not care how many you give her — two, five, forty, she's ready. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips (exits). that's it. that's the whole options list. she's a minimalist. she said "my only option is helping you." 😭🫶
not me realizing there's literally one flag on this page 💀 but honestly? queen behavior. no bloat, no filler. main character energy.

🧚 a lil sign-off 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was maf-join, version 1654, dated August 2026 — so yeah she's fresh, she's current, she's slaying in the present tense. 🌈⭐

go join your alignments. you got this. mwah. 💜🎀🌸
