wossparam -help

like look at her go, so many flags, she's thriving 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

wossparam is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). she's part of the "Ontology:EDAM,Documentation" command group(s). no cap, that's literally her whole identity 💖

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💜 Input section

  • -identifier string — the string you're searching with, bestie. hand it over and she'll go find you some programs 🍓

💜 Additional section

  • -explode boolean — okay so this one's a whole thing. the groups that EMBOSS applications belong to have two forms: exploded and not exploded. the exploded group names are more numerous and often vaguely phrased than the non-exploded ones. the exploded names are formed from definitions of the group names that start like NAME1:NAME2 and which are then expanded into many combinations of the names as: 'NAME1', 'NAME2', 'NAME1 NAME2', NAME2 NAME1'. the non-expanded names are simply like: 'NAME1 NAME2'. Default value: N
  • -showkeywords boolean — Default value: N (she's mysterious, the manual says nothing more, we respect her privacy 🙈)

💜 Advanced section

  • -sensitive boolean — by default, the query keywords are matched against the EDAM term names (and synonyms) only. this option also matches the keywords against the EDAM term definitions and will therefore (typically) report more matches. Default value: N
  • -subclasses boolean — extends the query matches to include all terms which are specialisations (EDAM sub-classes) of the matched type. Default value: Y ✨
  • -obsolete boolean — the default behaviour is to not use or return obsolete terms. this option, if set, will include all terms. Default value: N
  • -emboss boolean — if you use this option then EMBOSS program documentation will be searched. if this option is set to be false, then only the EMBASSY programs will be searched (if the -embassy option is true). EMBASSY programs are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the same look and feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the programs to be outside of the GNU General Public License scheme. Default value: Y
  • -embassy boolean — if you use this option then EMBASSY program documentation will be searched. if this option is set to be false, then only the EMBOSS programs will be searched (if the -emboss option is true). EMBASSY programs are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the same look and feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the programs to be outside of the GNU General Public License scheme. Default value: Y
  • -showembassy string — if you use this option then this EMBASSY package program documentation will be searched. EMBASSY programs are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the same look and feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the programs to be outside of the GNU General Public License scheme
  • -colon boolean — the groups that EMBOSS applications belong to go up to two levels, for example the primary group 'ALIGNMENT' has several sub-groups, or second-level groups, e.g.: CONSENSUS, DIFFERENCES, DOT PLOTS, GLOBAL, LOCAL, MULTIPLE. to aid programs that parse the output of wossname that require the names of these subgroups, a colon ':' will be placed between the first and second level of the group name if this option is true. Note: this does not apply if the group names have been exploded with the 'explode' option. Default value: N
  • -gui boolean — this option is intended to help those who are designing Graphical User Interfaces to the EMBOSS applications. some EMBOSS programs are inappropriate for running in a GUI, these include other menu programs and interactive editors. this option allows you to only report those programs that can be run from a GUI. Default value: N 🖥️✨

💜 Output section

  • -outfile outfile — where the good stuff goes. Default value: stdout

💜 Html section

  • -html toggle — if you are sending the output to a file, this will format it for displaying as a table in a WWW document. Default value: N
  • -groups boolean — if you use this option, then only the group names will be output to the file. Default value: N
  • -alphabetic boolean — if you use this option, then you will get a single list of the program names and descriptions instead of the programs being listed in their functional groups. Default value: N 🌈

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. slay 🌟

ngl bestie, that's the whole page. every flag, every default, every 'NAME1 NAME2', all of it. nothing skipped, nothing invented, periodt 💖

and that's a wrap! this beauty is EMBOSS 6.4.0, dated 05/11/2012, and she goes by WOSSPARAM(1e) — mwah, no notes 🫶✨🎀
