NAME

bin2num - Convert binary coded alleles in a LINKAGE input file to numbered alleles.

SYNOPSIS

bin2num [options]

DESCRIPTION

bin2num is a preprocessor for Meiotic Breakpoint Analysis programs. bin2num reads in a pedigree description file and an allele description file in a format which is a subset of the file format for the linkage program. If no command line options are specified, it reads the files pedin.dat and datain.dat. As output, bin2num produces a pedigree description file and loci description file identical to the inputs except that all binary coded alleles have been recoded as numbered alleles. The output files are named pedout.dat and dataout.dat by default.

OPTIONS

The following options may be used to control the files read and written by bin2num. GNU style long options must be used. Long options must be separated from their arguments with an ``='', and may not have spaces separating the option from the argument.

-h [ --help ]
Prints a brief help message on standard output.

-p file [ --pedin=file ]
Specifies the name of the input pedigree description file. If this option is not present, the program will read the file pedin.dat by default.

-d file [ --datain=file ]
Specifies the name of the input loci description file. If this option is not present, the program will read the file datain.dat by default.

-p file [ --pedout=file ]
Specifies the name of the output pedigree description file. If this option is not present, the program will write the file pedout.dat by default.

-d file [ --dataout=file ]
Specifies the name of the output loci description file. If this option is not present, the program will write to the file dataout.dat by default.
