minspace

usage

The progam takes as input a FASTA format file, and converts the first contained record into (canonical) minimizer space using random minimizers and the provided parameters.

The output is a binary file in the following format:

The output contains 2 64-bit integers (u64) followed by an array of a type specified based on these integers' values.

• The first u64 integer N is the length of the output
• The second u64 M is the maximum character (integer value) in the output
• If either N or M is >= i32::MAX, then the following array is an array of N u64 integers, otherwise it is an array of N u32 integers.
