la_transtype(3)

💖 NAME 💖

la_transtype(3) — literally the BLAST const to string translation, bestie. The name says it all: la_transtype: BLAST const to string. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so the function in the spotlight is this one, no cap:

character *1 function chla_transtype (trans)
    CHLA_TRANSTYPE

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

This page is from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s giving very specific “one little function, one big job” energy. Lowkey this heading is just the doorway to the function docs below, bestie. 🫶

🌸 Function Documentation 🌸

🌟 character*1 function chla_transtype (integer trans) 🌟

CHLA_TRANSTYPE

💅 Purpose: 💅

The source comment is literally this:

!>
!> This subroutine translates from a BLAST-specified integer constant to
!> the character string specifying a transposition operation.
!>
!> CHLA_TRANSTYPE returns an CHARACTER*1.  If CHLA_TRANSTYPE is 'X',
!> then input is not an integer indicating a transposition operator.
!> Otherwise CHLA_TRANSTYPE returns the constant value corresponding to
!> TRANS.
!>

So what that means, bestie: this subroutine translates from a BLAST-specified integer constant to the character string specifying a transposition operation. CHLA_TRANSTYPE returns an CHARACTER*1. If CHLA_TRANSTYPE is 'X', then the input is not an integer indicating a transposition operator — that’s the “not it” signal, fr fr. Otherwise CHLA_TRANSTYPE returns the constant value corresponding to TRANS. Slay. ✨
