💖 sand_uncompress_reads — uncompress sequence data 💖

okay bestie, welcome to sand_uncompress_reads, section 1 of the Cooperative Computing Tools manual. this is the lil tool that takes your squished-down sequence data and lets it breathe again. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sand_uncompress_reads [-qvh] [infile] [outfile]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: sand_uncompress_reads reads sequence data in the compressed FASTA format (aka cfa), which is the format used by sand_filter_master(1) and sand_align_master(1). then it hands you back output in the standard FASTA format. glow-up complete. ✨

• no outfile? no problem, it writes to standard output instead. 💅
• no infile? also fine, it reads from standard input. 🫶

and once it's done compressing, this program will output a summary line of sequences and bytes compressed. receipts!! 🧾

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -q — Quiet mode: suppresses that summary line. shhh. 🤫
• -h — Displays version information. 👑
• -v — Shows help text. 🙈

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

• Success? you get zero. slay. ✨
• Failure? you get non-zero. not slay. 😭

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

say you wanna uncompress mydata.cfa into mydata.fasta, you literally just do this:

% sand_uncompress_reads mydata.cfa mydata.fa

iconic. periodt. 💅
