Command Line Arguments

-maxseq

Specifies the maximum number of characters used in the concatenated consensus sequences. This parameter is generally not required as the value is normally computed and adjusted automatically. However a few functions (such as assembly) still need to know a maximum size before hand. The default is 100000 bases.

-maxdb

Specifies the maximum number of readings plus contigs. This value is not automatically adjusted whilst the program is running, but is not allowed to be set to a value too small for the database to be opened. It controls the size of some areas of memory (approx 16*maxdb bytes) used during execution of Gap. The default value is 8000.

-ro

-read_only

Opens the database (if specified on the command line) in read only mode. This does not apply to databases opened using the file browser.

--

Treat this as the last command line option. Only useful if the database name is specified and this database starts with a minus character (not recommended).
