RNAPARCONV(1)

NAME
RNAparconv - manual page for RNAparconv 2.6.4

SYNOPSIS
RNAparconv [options] [<input file>] [<output file>]

DESCRIPTION
RNAparconv 2.6.4

Convert energy parameter files from ViennaRNA 1.8.4 to 2.0 format

Converts energy parameter files from "old" ViennaRNAPackage 1.8.4 format to the new format used since ViennaRNAPackage 2.0. The Program reads a valid energy parameter file or valid energy parameters from stdin and prints the converted energy parameters to stdout or a specified output file. Per default, the converted output file contains the whole set of energy parameters used throughout ViennaRNAPackage 1.8.4. The user can specify sets of energy parameters that should not be included in the output.

-h, --help
    Print help and exit

--full-help
    Print help, including hidden options, and exit

-V, --version
    Print version and exit

  I/O Options:

    Command line options for input and output (pre-)processing

-i, --input=filename
    Specify an input file name. If argument is missing the energy parameter input can be supplied via 'stdin'.

-o, --output=filename
    Specify an output file name. If argument is missing the converted energy parameters are printed to 'stdout'.

--vanilla
    Print just as much as needed to represent the given energy parameters data set. This option overrides all other output settings!

    (default=off)

--dump
    Just dump Vienna 1.8.4 energy parameters in format used since 2.0. This option skips any energy parameter input!

    (default=off)

--silent
    Print just energy parameters and appropriate comment lines but suppress all other output

    (default=off)

--without-HairpinE
    Do not print converted hairpin energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-StackE
    Do not print converted stacking energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-IntE
    Do not print converted interior loop energies, enthalpies and asymetry factors

    (default=off)

--without-BulgeE
    Do not print converted bulge loop energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-MultiE
    Do not print converted multi loop energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-MismatchE
    Do not print converted exterior loop mismatch energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-MismatchH
    Do not print converted hairpin mismatch energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-MismatchI
    Do not print converted interior loop mismatch energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-MismatchM
    Do not print converted multi loop mismatch energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-Dangle5
    Do not print converted 5' dangle energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-Dangle3
    Do not print converted 3' dangle energies and enthalpies

    (default=off)

--without-Misc
    Do not print converted Misc energies and enthalpies (TerminalAU, DuplexInit, lxc)

    (default=off)
