💖 EDAMDEF 💖

okay bestie, welcome to edamdef(1e) — the lil command line queen that goes hunting through the EDAM ontology for terms by their definition. yes, definition. not name. we're being fancy today. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

edamdef — find EDAM ontology terms by definition 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

edamdef -query string [-namespace list] -subclasses boolean
        -obsolete boolean -edamdef outobo

edamdef -help

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so edamdef is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). literally the whole suite. it's part of the "Ontology:EDAM,Data retrieval:Ontology data" command group(s), so if you're hanging out in that clique, you already know. iykyk. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🌸 Input section 🌸

  • -query string — the thing you're searching for, bestie. hand it over as a string. 🍓

🌸 Additional section 🌸

  • -namespace list — by default all terms are returned (no cap). but if you wanna be picky, you can limit the search to one or a few namespaces. Default value: * ✨

🌸 Advanced section 🌸

  • -subclasses boolean — turn this on and the query matches get extended to include all the terms that are specialisations (EDAM sub-classes) of the matched type. like, the whole family tree, not just the one term. Default value: N 🌈
  • -obsolete boolean — the default behaviour is to not use or return obsolete terms (we don't do dusty, thank you). this option, if set, will include all terms. Default value: N 💀

🌸 Output section 🌸

  • -edamdef outobo — where the results go. hand it an outobo and it will write there. 🎀

🫶 BUGS 🫶

found a bug? not the vibe, but okay. bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to the EMBOSS developers (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031). they'll handle it. fr fr. 🙈

This manual page was autogenerated from an Ajax Control Definition of the EMBOSS package. It can be redistributed under the same terms as EMBOSS itself. periodt. 💅

okay that's the whole page, you ate it, no crumbs left. this was EMBOSS 6.4.0, dated 05/11/2012, and it's still serving EDAMDEF(1e) realness. bye bestie, go find some definitions! 🌸✨🦋
