kcftools kcf2tsv

The kcftools kcf2tsv command is used to convert a .kcf file into a .tsv file. The resulting output mimics the format used by IBSpy. This is typically used to export a single sample's data in a flat, tab-delimited format.


Usage

$ kcftools kcf2tsv -i=<kcfFile> -o=<outFile> [-s=<sampleName>]

Options

Option Description Required
-i, --input=<kcfFile> Input KCF file name Yes
-o, --output=<outFile> Output file name prefix Yes
-s, --sample=<sampleName> Sample name to embed in the output (optional) No

Example

$ kcftools kcf2tsv -i=data/sample.kcf -o=out/sample.tsv -s=S1

This command reads the data/sample.kcf file, converts it into a TSV file, and saves it to out/sample.tsv. The sample name S1 is included in the output.
