VCFREMOVESAMPLES(1)

💖 vcfremovesamples — the manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so like. this is vcfremovesamples, and it lives in section 1 of the manual, and it's part of vcflib — the VCF transformation crew. yes it's a whole thing. it's giving "small tool, big slay." 🧬✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcfremovesamples — she removes samples. that's it. that's the girl. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

vcfremovesamples [SAMPLE1] [SAMPLE2] ...

like. you just list the samples you want GONE and she handles the rest. no flags, no drama, just names. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole vibe: vcfremovesamples reads a vcf file and outputs each record in the vcf file, except — and this is the main character moment — it removes samples listed on the command line. 🫶

so every record still shows up, she's not ghosting your variants, she's just editing the sample situation. you tell her which sample names you want out, she writes out the records without them. lowkey the cleanest way to prune a cohort. no cap. 🌈

ngl the sample names go on the command line as plain arguments — that's literally the whole interface. iconic behavior honestly. ⭐

---

💀 EXIT VALUES 💀

• 0 — Success. she ate. no notes. 👑
• not 0 — Failure. something went sideways. check your invocation, bestie. 😭
