MFASPLIT(1)

MFASPLIT πŸ’…βœ¨

okay so before we even get into it β€” this page lives in section 1 of the manual, and it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. so yes bestie, it's a perl script, she's handing out manpages like friendship bracelets, we love her for it πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

mfasplit.pl β€” splits mfa (MultiFASTA) files into individual fa files

that's it. that's the whole job. she takes your big messy pile of sequences and she separates them into their own little files. main character energy, honestly. one sequence, one file. no drama, no overlap, it's giving organizational queen 🧚


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mfasplit.pl <file1.mfa> [file2.mfa ...]

so like, you run her on one file or you can feed her a whole lineup of files. she's flexible. she's not gonna make you choose. the <angle bracket> bits are placeholders for your actual filenames, and the [square bracket] bits mean you can add as many more as you want. fr fr, she'll take the whole squad. πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ OPTIONS πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the thing, and I need you to sit down for this one:

there are literally no options listed on this page. πŸ’€

like. zero. none. nada. no flags, no -h, no --help, no nothing. the <file1.mfa> [file2.mfa ...] situation in the SYNOPSIS is the entire interaction you get with this lady. she is a no-options, all-business kind of script and honestly? iconic behaviour. not every icon needs a config file. 😭

so don't go hunting for hidden flags down here, bestie β€” you'd just be scrolling through vibes. you gave your files, she splits them, everybody goes home. 🫢


🌈 quick vibe check 🌈

  • what she does β€” takes mfa (MultiFASTA) files, gives you back individual fa files

  • options β€” there aren't any listed. periodt. πŸ’…

that's the whole page, babe. you're caught up. no cap. 🌟
