💖 PBOPEN(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for pbopen, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, so you know it's a real one. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

pbopen — the convenient opener for Pacific Biosciences data files. yes, that's the whole vibe. she opens things. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pbopenfilename options

no cap, that's literally it. that's the line. write it down. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea. this program lets you easily load Pacific Biosciences cmp.h5 alignment data files into an interactive session, and it does that through the pbcore library. it's giving "just let me in already" energy and honestly? obsessed. 😌

if you want the full lore, more detailed information lives in this package's documentation over at /usr/share/doc/python-pbcore — and you can also peek at it in a docbase client, which is a whole mood. 📚✨

and the important bit, bestie, so listen up: the options you pass? they correspond to the pbcore library's open function for whatever type that given file happens to be. so the flags aren't doing some mysterious little dance of their own — they're matching up with the open function for that file's type. iykyk. 🫶

and that's the whole page, fr fr. this was version 1.2.9, dated April 2016 — yeah, she's a vintage icon 👑 — so go forth, open your files, and be the main character of your own alignment data. bye bestie, ily, don't forget to read the docs. 💖🌈🎀
