✨ REPROZIP(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is reprozip and it's literally the moment 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

reprozip — the tool for reproducing scientific experiments (packer, i.e. the one doing the packing, not the one doing the vibes) 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the synopsis, verbatim, no cap:

usage: reprozip [-h] [--version] [-d DIR] [--dont-identify-packages]
       [--dont-find-inputs-outputs] [-v] ...

so reprozip is the ReproZip component that's responsible for tracing and packing the execution of an experiment. that's the whole job. it follows your program around, notes everything it touches, and packages it up so you can re-run it later. main character energy, honestly 🔥

🌈 optional arguments:

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. exit stage left 🫶
  • --version — shows the program's version number and exits. a quick lil flex of what version you're on ✨
  • -d DIR, --dir DIR — where to store the database and the configuration file (default: ./.reprozip-trace). this is the folder where all the receipts live 📁
  • --dont-identify-packages — do not try to identify which package each file comes from. it just... won't. periodt 💀
  • --dont-find-inputs-outputs — do not try to identify input and output files. skipping that whole detective arc, fr fr 🙈
  • -v, --verbose — augments the verbosity level. more words, more chaos, more tea 👑

💜 commands:

  • usage_report — enables or disables anonymous usage reports 📊
  • trace — runs the program and writes out the database and configuration file. the classic. the icon 🏃‍♀️
  • testrun — runs the program and writes out the database contents 🧪
  • reset — resets the configuration file. fresh start, clean slate, we love to see it 🧼
  • pack — packs the experiment according to the current configuration. this is the packing part, babes 📦
  • combine — combines multiple traces into one (possibly as subsequent runs) 🧬
ngl, if something breaks, please report issues to reprozip-users@vgc.poly.edu — they wanna hear from you, bestie 😭
