✨ XML2FSA(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual 💖 this is the xml2fsa page and honestly? it's giving short and iconic. no notes. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

xml2fsa — print FASTA sequence data for INSDSeq XML 🧬✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xml2fsa

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no arguments, no drama. main character energy 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: xml2fsa reads INSDSeq XML from standard input and writes its sequence data to standard output in FASTA format. periodt. 💖

like, you pipe the XML in, the FASTA comes out, no cap. that's the entire job and it does it flawlessly. not me being obsessed with a program that literally just does one thing 😭

bestie reminder: it's standard input in and standard output out — so don't be out here expecting it to read a file for you, that's what the shell is for 🐚✨
