VCF-CONCAT(1)

💖 VCF-CONCAT(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to vcf-concat — it's a User Command and it's here to glue your VCF files together, no cap 🧬✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcf-concat — the girl who concatenates VCF files 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vcf-concat [OPTIONS] A.vcf.gz B.vcf.gz C.vcf.gz > out.vcf

like. she takes a whole lil lineup of VCFs and pipes the combined result into out.vcf. iconic behaviour honestly 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

About: she's your convenience tool for concatenating VCF files, and she is so good at it 🎀

In the basic mode she does not do anything fancy — literally the only extra thing she does is a sanity check that all your files have the same columns. that's it. that's the whole vibe check ✅

But when you run her with the -s option? oh she levels up 🔥 she'll perform a partial merge sort, looking at a limited number of open jobs simultaneously. main character energy fr fr 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -f, --files <file> — read the list of files from a file. like, hand her a lil text file of filenames instead of typing them all out, we love a shortcut 💖
• -s, --merge-sort <int> — allow small overlaps in N consecutive files. this is the one that unlocks the partial merge sort ✨
• -h, -?, --help — this help message. she'll tell you everything she knows 🥺

reminder bestie: in basic mode she only sanity-checks that all the files share the same columns, so don't come for her if you wanted something fancier — that's what -s is for 💀
