Description
unknown infers possible genotypes and mating combinations for parents with unknown genotypes for
ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1).
Errors
10 File not found
255 Failure
Examples
Normally, unknown(1) is run immediately prior to its sister programs, ilink(1), mlink(1) and linkmap(1),
like this:
unknown
mlink
Files
unknown(1) reads the two files pedfile.dat and datafile.dat as its own input and produces various
temporary files that are used as input to the next program. These temporary files are ipedfile.dat,
upedfile.dat, speedfile.dat and newspeedfile.dat.
Name

J. Ott.
