--version wrong command description"something-s"?
On the latest master branch: b8c13c0401885873a99b229fca668deecde08749
, bowtie2-align-s
, bowtie2-build-s
and bowtie2-inspect-s
commands are displayed as version info.
Is it intended?
$ make
$ ./bowtie2 --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2-align-s version 2.4.1
...
$ ./bowtie2-build --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2-build-s version 2.4.1
...
$ ./bowtie2-inspect --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2-inspect-s version 2.4.1
...
I feel the command can be like this. And bowtie2-build
and bowtie2-inspect
are same as well.
$ ./bowtie2 --version
/home/jaruga/git/bowtie2/bowtie2 version 2.4.1
...
This makes sense to me, since bowtie2
, bowtie2-build
and bowtie2-inspect
are wrapper scripts that do very little themselves except format arguments for the underlying binaries. The binaries end in -s
and -l
depending on whether they are working with 32-bit or 64-bit formatted index files.
