6       srf_list - Lists and/or counts the contents of an SRF file

SYNOPSIS

10       srf_list  [options] srf_archive ...
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       srf_list lists the filenames held within one or more SRF container.  To
15       simply count the contents rather than list them specify the -c  option.
16       Note  that  when  in  count-only mode if an index is present it will be
17       used to determine  the  number  of  entries  in  the  index  and  hence
18       sequences  in  the  SRF file. The index cannot be used when listing the
19       filenames however as the index itself does not contain the  full  file‐
20       names.
21
22       Note  that  it is not possible to count sequences matching certain pat‐
23       terns or with specific flags set. srf_info is a  more  general  purpose
24       tool that may cover this.

OPTIONS

28       -c     Counts  sequences instead of listing them. Note that this may be
29              substantially faster than listing if an index exists.
30
31       -v     Verbose mode. This gives  summary  count  information  per  file
32              rather than just the total at the end.
33
34       -l     Long  format.  When  listing  sequence  names this also provides
35              information on the position in the archive and the size  of  the
36              sequence  specific  data  block  and the size of the shared data
37              block header.

EXAMPLES

41       To count the total number of sequences in several SRF files:
42
43           srf_list -c *.srf
44
45
46       To produce a "fofn" (file of filenames) for an SRF file:
47
48           srf_list foo.srf > foo.fofn
