Description
sand_compress_reads reads sequence data in standard FASTA format, and produces output in the compressed
FASTA (cfa) format used by the sand_filter_master(1) and sand_align_master(1).
If the output file is omitted, standard output is used. if the input file is omitted, standard input is
used. After completing the compression, this program will output a summary line of sequences and bytes
compressed.
Examples
To compress mydata.fasta into mydata.cfa:
% sand_compress_reads mydata.fasta mydata.cfa
Exit Status
On success, returns zero. On failure, returns non-zero.
