VCF-INDEL-STATS(1)

πŸ’… VCF-INDEL-STATS(1) β€” the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading a manpage and honestly? it's giving iconic little bioinformatics moment. this is the manual for vcf-indel-stats, a User Commands situation, and i'm gonna walk you through every single crumb of it. no cap, no skipping. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

vcf-indel-stats β€” aka vcf-indel-stat. yes that's the whole name. short, sweet, does what it says on the tin. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

the vibe is: you pipe stuff in, you get stuff out. classic.

vcf-indel-stats [OPTIONS] < in.vcf > out.txt

in.vcf goes in through stdin, out.txt comes out through stdout, and <rainbow>OPTIONS</rainbow> are, you know, optional. as options are. πŸ’…


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

here's the whole tea, straight from the source:

About: Currently calculates in-frame ratio.

that's it. that's the description. it's lowkey a minimalist king. it calculates the in-frame ratio, and that's what we're doing today. periodt. πŸ‘‘


✨ OPTIONS ✨

every flag, every letter, all of them. we do not gatekeep here. 🫢

  • -h, -?, --help β€” this help message. three whole ways to ask for help and honestly? valid. very "there are no dumb questions" of it. πŸ™ˆ
  • -e, --exons <file> β€” gives it a tab-separated file full of exons, formatted as chr,from,to, where the coordinates are 1-based and inclusive. so from and to are both in the party, nobody's getting left out at the border. πŸŽ‰
  • -v, --verbose β€” verbose mode. it says more. that's the entire job description and it's thriving. πŸ—£οΈ

ngl bestie, that's the whole manpage. it's a short one. not every page is a 40-option epic and that's okay. 🌈

🧚 the sign-off 🧚

this page is literally named vcf-indel-stats and it's dated February 2013 β€” so yes, this manual has been out here being a legend since before some of us could read. πŸ’€

anyway, that's the page. go calculate some in-frame ratios, main character. i'm obsessed with you. bye bestie!! πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€
