🧬 NTHASH(1) — the manual page, but make it slay 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about nthash — a recursive hash function for hashing all possible k-mers in a DNA/RNA sequence. yes. all of them. every single one. she's thorough like that. ✨

This is a User Command, iykyk. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

nthash — Recursive hash function for hashing all possible k-mers in a DNA/RNA sequence 🧬✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ntHash -k VAR -o VAR [-f VAR] [-h] [-s VAR] [--long] [--binary]
[--verbose] files

like… that's the whole vibe. -k and -o are the mandatory besties, everything else is optional garnish 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Unknown argument: --help

okay so FIRST OF ALL 😭 — if you came here hoping --help would save you, it will not. The page literally just says Unknown argument: --help. She's mysterious. She's cryptic. She's giving "figure it out, babe". 💀

🐚 Positional arguments 🐚

  • files — Input sequence files. [nargs: 0 or more] and [required]. So like, zero-or-more of them but ALSO required?? yeah. that's the energy. bring your files. 👑

✨ Optional arguments ✨

  • -v, --version — prints version information and exits. bye. ✌️
  • -k — k-mer size. [required] — no k, no party. 🎉
  • -o — Output file (for -f collect) or directory path. [required] — you gotta tell her where to put the goods. 📁
  • -f — Output file organization. You can store hashes for each 'file', for each 'record', or 'collect' all hashes into a single file. [default: "file"] 🌈
  • -h — Number of hashes per k-mer/seed. [default: 1] — ngl, if you expected this to be "help", it is NOT, bestie, it is the hash count. 🙈
  • -s — Input spaced seed patterns separated by commas (e.g. 1110111,11011011). Performs k-mer hashing if no value provided. 🧚
  • --long — Optimize file reader for long sequences (>5kbp). long queen behavior 👑
  • --binary — Output hashes in binary files (otherwise plain text). 🔥
  • --verbose — Print progress to stdout. she'll narrate her journey for you 🎤
