acdc

 

Function

The ACD compiler. Tests definition files for any EMBOSS application.

Description

acdc requires one command line parameter, which is the application name to be compiled. It simply reads the ACD file for that application and works exactly like the application, even if the application has not yet been written. The remainder of the command line and any user responses to prompts are validated in exactly the same way as for the real program.

Usage

Here is a sample session with acdc 


% acdc antigenic
Finds antigenic sites in proteins
Input sequence(s): tsw:act1_fugru
Minimum length [6]: 
Output report [act1_fugru.antigenic]:

Command line arguments

acdc requires one command line parameter which is the application name to be compiled. The rest of the command line follows the definitions for that application.

Some universal options can be useful in acdc, for example -acdpretty to rewrite the ACD file to appname.acdpretty

Input file format

acdc will open and read any input files required by the given ACD file

Input files for usage example

'tsw:act1_fugru' is a sequence entry in the example protein database 'tsw'

Database entry: tsw:act1_fugru

>ACT1_FUGRU P53484 ACTIN, CYTOPLASMIC 1 (BETA-ACTIN 1).

acdc is intended for EMBOSS administrators and developers to test ACD
files and may be extended in future to convert them to other
application interface definitions.
