STARCHCLUSTER_SGE(1)

💖 STARCHCLUSTER_SGE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to starchcluster_sge — it's a manual page, it's a whole vibe, and yes it's part of starchcluster_sge 2.4.42+dfsg. Let's get into it, because this little script is lowkey iconic once you know what it does. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

starchcluster_sge [--help] [--clean] <input-bed-file> [output-starch-file]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: you hand this script the name of a BED file and it goes and makes a starch archive for you using the cluster. That's the whole plot. 🦋

ngl, stdin isn't supported through this wrapper script — but bestie, starch supports it natively, so if that's what you need, go talk to starch directly. 💅

Add --clean if you want it to yeet the <input-bed-file> after it's done starching it up. Like, gone-gone. Make sure you actually want that. 😭

You can also pass in the name of the output starch archive you want created. And if you don't? No stress — the output just gets the same name as the input file, with an extra

'.starch'

ending tacked on. And if your input file already ends with '.bed', that part gets stripped off first. ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --help — shows you the help, the classic move, the little "wait what does this do again" button. 🙈
• --clean — removes <input-bed-file> after starching it up, so the original file is deleted once the archive exists. 👑
