VCFSTREAMSORT(1)

VCFSTREAMSORT(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the vcfstreamsort page from the vcflib manual, section 1 (that's the "VCF transformation" girlies) ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcfstreamsort — she sorts your VCF, and she does it while streaming, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vcfstreamsort options [vcf file]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically? She sorts the input — and the input can be either stdin or a file — using a streaming sort algorithm. 🫶

And here's the slay part: she guarantees the positional order comes out correct, provided that out-of-order variants are no more than 100 positions apart in the VCF file. That's the vibe check you have to pass, bestie. ⭐

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — this dialog. she just wants to talk 🎀
• -w, --window N — number of sites to sort (default 10000). your little sorting window, your little zone 🪟
• -a, --all — load all sites and then sort in memory. the "i'm doing the most" option, iconic 😭

Type: transformation 🧚

---

👑 EXIT VALUES 👑

• 0 — Success 🎉
• not 0 — Failure 💀
