SAMBAMBA(1)

💖 SAMBAMBA 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the sambamba(1) page — this is the main character of the whole squad, the one executable to rule them all 🌈

✨ NAME ✨

sambamba — a whole toolkit for working with SAM/BAM files, no cap 🧬💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sambamba [subcommand] [arguments...]

like, that's it. you call the big sambamba and then you tell it which little guy you want it to be today 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

sambamba is the ultimate group chat move: it pulls a bunch of independent tools together into one single executable. one binary, eight personalities, iconic behaviour honestly 👑

here's the whole fam, each with their own man page:

• sambamba-view(1)
• sambamba-index(1)
• sambamba-merge(1)
• sambamba-sort(1)
• sambamba-markdup(1)
• sambamba-flagstat(1)
• sambamba-slice(1)
• sambamba-pileup(1)

so the subcommands you can actually type are view, index, merge, sort, markdup, flagstat, slice, and mpileup. how each one works? that's living on its own corresponding man page, so go read those for the deets 📖✨

heads up bestie: sambamba uses all available cores by default. ALL of them. it is not shy, it is not holding back, it is eating every CPU on the plate and leaving no crumbs 🔥💀 (iykyk — plan accordingly)

okay that's the whole page, love u, go align something 💜

this lil slice of manpage history is brought to you by the February 2015-2020 era and the one and only SAMBAMBA(1) — periodt 🎀✨🫶
