💖 DBXFASTA — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, you're reading the DBXFASTA(1e) page from the EMBOSS Manual for Debian, and I'm about to walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing database indexing.

✨ NAME ✨

dbxfasta — index a fasta file database using b+tree indices

no cap, that's the whole job. it builds b+tree indices. it's giving librarian energy 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dbxfasta -dbname string -dbresource string -idformat list
         -directory directory -filenames string -fields list
         -compressed boolean -release string -date string
         -exclude string -indexoutdir outdir -outfile outfile

dbxfasta -help

that's the full lineup, every flag accounted for. and yes, -help is right there at the bottom like a little safety net 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

dbxfasta is a command line program from EMBOSS ("the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite"). periodt. 💅

it lives in the "Utils:Database indexing" command group(s). that's its whole clique. that's where it hangs out. iykyk.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💜 Input section

  • -dbname string — the database name. you give it a string, it takes a string. very demure, very mindful.
  • -dbresource string — the database resource. also a string. the vibes are stringy in here.
  • -idformat list — the ID format. default value: idacc. that's the one it picks if you don't say otherwise ✨
  • -directory directory — which directory to look in. default value: . (aka "here, obviously").
  • -filenames string — which files to grab. default value: *.fasta. glob girlies rise 🌈

🔥 Required section

  • -fields list — the fields to index. default value: id,acc. required, so don't skip it, fr fr.
  • -compressed boolean — compressed or not. default value: Y. yup, Y is the default, as in yes bestie, compressed.

⭐ Advanced section

  • -release string — the release. default value: 0.0.
  • -date string — the date. default value: 00/00/00.
  • -exclude string — stuff to exclude. no default given, it's a mystery box 🙈

👑 Output section

  • -indexoutdir outdir — where the indices go. default value: . (right here, bestie).
  • -outfile outfile — the output file. no default listed. it is what it is.

💀 BUGS 💀
