💖 VCFKEEPINFO(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to vcfkeepinfo, part of the vcflib family, and it's filed under section 1 of the manual, which is where all the user commands hang out. it's a VCF transformation tool. yes, transformation. glow-up for your variant files. slay ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcfkeepinfo — the little tool that keeps the INFO fields you actually want and ghosts the rest 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

vcfkeepinfo [FIELD1] [FIELD2] ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: you hand it a list of INFO field names, and it removes every INFO field that is NOT listed on the command line. that's it. that's the whole job. the reason you'd do that? to decrease file size. girl math: fewer fields, smaller file, happier disk. iconic 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • Type: transformation — that's the type of this tool, no cap.

🔥 EXIT VALUES 🔥

  • 0 — Success. it ate, it left no crumbs, everything went great 💖
  • not 0` — Failure. something went sideways, no cap 😭
fr fr, if you see anything that isn't 0, the run did not go how you wanted. check your input, bestie.
