VCFNULLGENOFIELDS(1)

💅 VCFNULLGENOFIELDS 💅

okay so bestie, this is vcfnullgenofields from the vcflib fam — a transformation tool, no cap. Sit down, hydrate, let's fix your FORMAT columns together 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vcfnullgenofields options

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: this lil icon makes the FORMAT for each variant line the same — it uses all the FORMAT fields described in the header. Every single one. It's giving consistency, it's giving organized 💅

Then it fills out the per-sample fields to match FORMAT, because nothing is sadder than a sample column that doesn't line up with its own header 😭

And the cute part: it expands GT values of . with a number of alleles based on ploidy — like, for diploid it gives you ./. ✨ (one dot per allele, periodt).

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -p, --ploidy N — the polidy of missing/null GT fields (default=2). (yes bestie, the original says "polidy" — we love a typo, but the flag is --ploidy iykyk 💀)
• -L, --expand_GL — fill in missing GL fields with 0 values, like 0,0,0 for diploid 2 alleles 🔥

Type: transformation 👑

---

💀 EXIT VALUES 💀

• 0 — Success 🎉 slay, it worked
• not 0 — Failure 😭 something went sideways, check ur inputs
