QUORUM_CREATE_DATABASE(1)

💖 QUORUM_CREATE_DATABASE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to quorum_create_database — it's a User Command, it's lowkey iconic, and it does exactly one thing but it does it so well. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

quorum_create_database — build a database of k-mers for the quorum error corrector. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

create_database_cmdline [options] reads:path+

like... options first, then your reads, and bestie you can pass more than one path. the + is not a suggestion, it's a requirement. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what are we even doing here? We're creating a database of k-mers for the quorum error corrector. That's the vibe. That's the whole assignment.

More specifically: it creates the k-mer database for quorum_error_correct. You make the database here, then that other tool gets to eat. main character energy for real. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

quick heads up before we dive in: the default value is sitting in the () — and the ones with a * are required, as in, you literally cannot skip them, bestie, the program will simply not.

• -s, --size=uint64 — *Initial hash size. REQUIRED. you don't get to skip this one. 💀
• -m, --mer=uint32 — *Mer length. also required. pick your k and commit. 🧚
• -b, --bits=uint32 — *Bits for value field. required, bestie, all three of these asterisk babes are mandatory.
• -q, --min-qual-value=uint32 — min quality, but as an int. numbers only. 🔢
• -Q, --min-qual-char=string — min quality, but as an ASCII character. yes it's the same concept in a different outfit. the duality. ✨
• -t, --threads=uint32 — number of threads. default is (1). one thread, one little worker bee 🐝 — bump it up if you want her to go faster.
• -o, --output=path — output file. default is (combined_database). that's the name it'll use if you don't say otherwise. 🍓
• -p, --reprobe=int32 — maximum number of reprobes. default is (126). yes, one hundred and twenty six, very specific, we love her. 💜
• -U, --usage — usage. just the usage. 🙈
• -h, --help — this message. hello, it's me. 👋
• -V, --version — version. so you know which one you're running. ⭐
