💖 starchcluster_slurm — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for starchcluster_slurm version 2.4.42+dfsg, and it lives in section 1 of your man pages (User Commands, iykyk). it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "small script, big job." let's get into it 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

starchcluster_slurm — manual page for starchcluster_slurm 2.4.42+dfsg

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

that's the whole vibe right there. one required-ish thing, one optional thing, two lil flags. iconic.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea, bestie. you pass in the name of a BED file and it creates a starch archive using the cluster 🫶. that's the whole main character moment.

quick heads up tho: stdin isn't supported through this wrapper script. but don't spiral — starch itself supports it natively. so it's a wrapper-script thing, not a starch thing. no cap 💀

add --clean and it will remove <input-bed-file> after starching it up. so like, tidy. gone. poof ✨ (yes, that means the original file gets deleted, so know that going in 🫶)

you can pass in the name of the output starch archive you want created. if you don't, no worries, it's got you — the output will just have the same name as the input file, with an additional

.starch

ending tacked on. and if the input file ends with .bed, that part gets stripped off first. so something.bed becomes something.starch. periodt 💅

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

the full documentation for starchcluster_slurm is maintained as a Texinfo manual 📖 — so if the info and starchcluster_slurm programs are properly installed at your site, running this:

info starchcluster_slurm

should give you access to the complete manual. go read it, it's lowkey a whole saga 🌈

reminder bestie: this page is short on purpose. everything it says is everything there is. no secret hidden flags, no "but actually" footnote. we love a transparent queen 👑

and that's the page!! starchcluster_slurm 2.4.42+dfsg, from August 2025, and it is genuinely obsessed with being helpful. stay starching, stay slaying, see you in the cluster 💜🦋✨
