💖 vcfkeepsamples 💖

okay bestie, so this is vcfkeepsamples, one of the little VCF-transformation girlies from the vcflib family (that's manual section 1, for my pedantic besties 🎀). she's not complicated. she's not doing the most. she just keeps the samples you ask for and yeets the rest. periodt. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vcfkeepsamples [SAMPLE1] [SAMPLE2] ...

literally just hand her the sample names you want, bestie. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕: vcfkeepsamples takes your vcf file and outputs each record in it — every single record, she's not gatekeeping any of them — but she removes the samples that are not listed on the command line. that's it. that's the job. the samples you named? they stay. the ones you didn't? gone. bye. 💅

so like, if you only care about two of your eight hundred samples (relatable honestly 😭), you just name the two and she keeps them. main character energy for those samples specifically. 👑

💀 EXIT VALUES 💀

  • 0 — Success. she ate, she left no crumbs, everything worked. 🔥
  • not 0 — Failure. something went sideways, ngl, check your inputs bestie. 😭

  • vcflib(1) — the whole friend group. go say hi. 💜
