VCFDISTANCE(1)

💖 NAME 💖

vcfdistance — bestie's fave lil VCF metrics girlie ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vcfdistance [customtagname] < [vcf file]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen. vcfdistance reads a VCF file in through stdin and, for every single variant record, it adds a tag telling you how far away the nearest variant is. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly, no cap 💅

the tag it drops in defaults to BasesToClosestVariant — but only if you don't hand it your own custom tag name. so if you do pass one, that's the name you get instead. your tag, your rules, main character energy 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• Type: metrics — yeah that's the vibe category she lives in, metrics core 🎀

---

💀 EXIT VALUES 💀

• 0 — slay, it worked, success, we ate 🫶
• not 0 — it's giving failure, something went wrong, tragic 😭
