💖 DBXSTAT(1e) — the dbxstat glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the EMBOSS Manual for Debian page for dbxstat, and honestly? it's giving "quiet little utility that just does its job" and we respect that. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

dbxstat — dump statistics for dbx databases 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dbxstat -dbname string -field string -indexdir directory
        -minimum integer -maximum integer -$(dbname) outfile

dbxstat -help

so yeah, two ways to run it: the whole big flag parade, or just -help if you're like "bestie what is this". 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so dbxstat is a command line program from EMBOSS — that's "the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite", no cap, that's the actual full name. 🧚

it lives in the command group "Utils:Database indexing", so if you're scrolling through groups looking for it, that's the vibe check. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🎀 Input section 🎀

  • -dbname string — the name of the dbx database you're poking at. you give it a string, it takes it. simple as that. ✨
  • -field string — which field you want stats for. default value: id. that's the one it reaches for if you don't say otherwise. 💖
  • -indexdir directory — the directory where the indexes live. hand it a directory and it'll go look there. 🌸

🌈 Required section 🌈

okay so this section exists and it is completely empty in the original. nothing in it. no options. zero. it's giving "reserved parking spot". 🫶 (i'm not adding anything to it, bestie — that's the whole point.) 💀

⭐ Advanced section ⭐

  • -minimum integer — the low end of your range, as an integer. default value: 1. 🌱
  • -maximum integer — the high end of your range, as an integer. no default listed, so if you leave it out, that's between you and the program. 🙈

👑 Output section 👑

  • -$(dbname) outfile — this one's cute, it literally uses your database name in the flag itself: -$(dbname), and it wants an outfile. so like, the output file. the place the stats go. iconic behaviour, honestly. 💜
