acdvalid
Function
ACD file validation
Description
Acdvalid processes the ACD file for an EMBOSS program and reports any
errors or warnings caused by incorrect, deprecated or obsolete syntax.
Acdvalid does not have its own command line. Instead, it will run the
command line of any EMBOSS program by reading its ACD file and
processing the command line and user responses in exactly the same way
as the true program.
Acdvalid uses a very simple method. The first command line parameter
is the name of the EMBOSS program to be compiled. All other command
line parameters and qualifiers are processed by that program's ACD
file.
Usage
Here is a sample session with acdvalid
% acdvalid antigenic
Command line arguments
The first parameter is the name of the program to compile. All other
command line parameters and qualifiers are defined for that program -
see the documentation for the program of choice.
Output file format
The output file is empty, but any format available to the specified
program can be used.
Data files
Acdvalid will use any data files specified in the ACD file of the
specified program, but will ignore any data files that are only used
directly by the program's code.
EMBOSS data files are distributed with the application and stored in
the standard EMBOSS data directory, which is defined by the EMBOSS
environment variable EMBOSS_DATA.
To see the available EMBOSS data files, run:
% embossdata -showall
To fetch one of the data files (for example 'Exxx.dat') into your
current directory for you to inspect or modify, run:
% embossdata -fetch -file Exxx.dat
Users can provide their own data files in their own directories.
Project specific files can be put in the current directory, or for
tidier directory listings in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
Files for all EMBOSS runs can be put in the user's home directory, or
again in a subdirectory called ".embossdata".
The directories are searched in the following order:
* . (your current directory)
* .embossdata (under your current directory)
* ~/ (your home directory)
* ~/.embossdata
