✨ NAME ✨

pxrmk — remove two-degree internal nodes from a tree 🌳✂️

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pxrmk [OPTIONS]...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. you know how trees have those little middle-of-the-road nodes that are just... passing through? two-degree internal nodes, aka 'knuckles' 👊. pxrmk removes them. that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

she'll take a newick- or nexus-formatted tree from a file or from STDIN, and she writes the output in newick format. periodt. 🌈

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -t, --treef=FILE — the input tree file 🍓. if you don't hand her one, she'll read from STDIN instead.
• -o, --outf=FILE — the output tree file 💜. otherwise it's STOUT (that's exactly what it says, bestie, don't come for me 😭).
• -h, --help — shows you this help and dips out 👋
• -V, --version — shows the version and dips out 👑
• -C, --citation — shows the phyx citation and dips out 📜✨
