NAME
arg - genbank archive utility
SYNOPSIS
arg
c|r[vo12...9]
afile size file1
[file2...]
arg
x|t[vo12...9]
afile
[gen1
[gen2...]]
DESCRIPTION
The
arg
utility is used to manipulate the genebank archives that are used by
tierra(1).
It is used to assemble or dissasemble tierra code, list the genomes contained
in a file, and also to convert between the old and new file formats.
The
arg
commands are:
-
-
c
- create afile and add genomes in
file1...filen
-
r
- replace in
afile
(or add to end) genomes in
file1...filen
-
x
- extract entire contents or specified genomes from
afile
-
t
- list entire contents or specified genomes in
afile
The optional modifiers are:
-
-
v
- verbose output
-
o
- old. will cause c & r to expect an old-style genome file rather than
- assembly code, and x to produce old format rather than disassembled
listing, has no effect on t.
-
1,2...9
- instruction set (defaults to INST == 1)
Where
filen
and
afile
are any legal filenames,
genn
is a 3 character genome label, and
size
is a decimal integer. (Note that
tierra(1)
expects archives to have names consisting of 4 digits, and an extension of
.gen,
.tmp,
or
.mem.
FILES
GenebankPath/nnnn.gen
permanantly saved genomes
GenebankPath/nnnn.tmp
genomes from periodic saves
GenebankPath/nnnn.mem
genomes swapped to disk

BUGS
Genome extraction and internal search functions could be faster (and will
in the next release)
