Utility functions for sourmash CLI commands.
The sourmash_args submodule contains functions that help with various
command-line functions. Library functions in this module often directly
send output to stdout/stderr in support of the CLI, and/or call
sys.exit to exit.
argparse functionality:
* check_scaled_bounds(args) -- check that --scaled is reasonable
* check_num_bounds(args) -- check that --num is reasonable
* get_moltype(args) -- verify that moltype selected is legit
* calculate_moltype(args) -- confirm that only one moltype was selected
* load_picklist(args) -- create a SignaturePicklist from --picklist args
* report_picklist(args, picklist) -- report on picklist value usage/matches
* load_include_exclude_db_patterns(args) -- load --include-db-pattern / --exclude-db-pattern
* apply_picklist_and_pattern(db, ...) -- subselect db on picklist and pattern
signature/database loading functionality:
* load_query_signature(filename, ...) -- load a single signature for query
* traverse_find_sigs(filenames, ...) -- find all .sig and .sig.gz files
* load_dbs_and_sigs(filenames, query, ...) -- load databases & signatures
* load_pathlist_from_file(filename) -- load a list of paths from a file
* load_many_signatures(locations) -- load many signatures from many files
* get_manifest(idx) -- retrieve or build a manifest from an Index
* class SignatureLoadingProgress - signature loading progress bar
* load_file_as_signatures(filename, ...) -- load a list of signatures
signature and file output functionality:
* class FileOutput - file output context manager that deals w/stdout well
* class FileOutputCSV - file output context manager for CSV files
misc support:
* FileInputCSV - context manager for reading CSVs
