NAME¶
seealso - Finds programs with similar function to a specified
program

[-html toggle]
[-groups boolean]
-colon boolean

DESCRIPTION¶
seealso is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the
European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It is part of the
"Documentation" command group(s).
OPTIONS¶
-search string
Enter the name of an EMBOSS program
Additional section¶
-explode boolean
The groups that EMBOSS applications belong to have two
forms, exploded and not exploded. The exploded group names are more numerous
and often vaguely phrased than the non-exploded ones. The exploded names are
formed from definitions of the group names that start like NAME1:NAME2 and
which are then expanded into many combinations of the names as: 'NAME1',
'NAME2', 'NAME1 NAME2', NAME2 NAME1'. The non-expanded names are simply like:
'NAME1 NAME2'. Using expanded group names will find many more programs which
share at least some of the expanded names than using the non-exploded names
and so you will get more programs reported as sharing a similar function than
you will if you specify that you wish to use non-exploded names Default value:
N
Advanced section¶
-emboss boolean
If you use this option then EMBOSS program documentation
will be searched. If this option is set to be false, then only the EMBASSY
programs will be searched (if the -embassy option is true). EMBASSY programs
are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the
same look and feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the
programs to be outside of the GNU General Public License scheme Default value:
Y
-embassy boolean
If you use this option then EMBASSY program documentation
will be searched. If this option is set to be false, then only the EMBOSS
programs will be searched (if the -emboss option is true). EMBASSY programs
are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the
same look and feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the
programs to be outside of the GNU General Public License scheme Default value:
Y
-showembassy string
If you use this option then this EMBASSY package program
documentation will be searched. EMBASSY programs are not strictly part of
EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the same look and feel, but
are generally developed by people who wish the programs to be outside of the
GNU General Public License scheme
Output section¶
-outfile outfile
Default value: stdout
Html section¶
-html toggle
If you are sending the output to a file, this will format
it for displaying as a table in a WWW document. Default value: N
-groups boolean
If you use this option, then only the group names will
output to the file Default value: N
-colon boolean
The groups that EMBOSS applications belong to have up to
two levels, for example the primary group 'ALIGNMENT' has several sub-groups,
or second-level groups, e.g.: CONSENSUS, DIFFERENCES, DOT PLOTS, GLOBAL,
LOCAL, MULTIPLE. To aid programs that parse the output of seealso that require
the names of these subgroups, a colon ':' will be placed between the first and
second level of the group name if this option is true. Default value: N
