DESCRIPTION

gffencode takes the output of gffprint(1) and converts it back to the binary gff. The gffprint(1) output should be generated with -t option so that it has all the internal type information. If -f is given then it reads the output of gffprint(1) with -b or -f, and uses the file names of the original gff file. This can be used to change lot of files. If no output file is given then the TemplateResRef of the file is used.

OPTIONS

--help -h

Prints out the usage information.

--version -V

--verbose -v

--filenames -f

--output -o output_file

Resulting binary erf is written to this file.

--separator -s separator

Assume that the input file is using given string as a separator between the label and value instead of default :\t.
