transmute-linux
Linux platform binary for the transmute tool family. Unlike the public wrapper, this ELF executable goes straight into the compiled implementation and exposes the full built-in help/version text directly.
Quick Start
- Command:
transmute.Linux [options]
- Local executable:
/home/vimalinx/miniforge3/envs/bio/bin/transmute.Linux
- Version seen locally:
24.0
When To Use This Tool
- Calling the Linux backend directly instead of going through the
transmute wrapper
- Working in environments where you specifically want the compiled binary and not wrapper-level intercepts
- Using the built-in help text as the authoritative reference for available compiled modes
- Debugging whether a behavior comes from the wrapper script or from the underlying executable itself
Common Patterns
printf '{"a":1}\n' | transmute.Linux -j2x -set Set -rec Rec
transmute.Linux -help
transmute.Linux -version
Recommended Workflow
- Use
transmute.Linux -help when you want the binary's own option inventory.
- Call the platform binary directly only if you intentionally want to bypass wrapper-level helper logic.
- Feed structured input through stdin for the selected mode.
- If a mode seems to work in
transmute but not here, check whether the wrapper was intercepting it in shell or Python.
Guardrails
transmute.Linux -help and transmute.Linux -version both work here and report version 24.0.- This binary does not provide the wrapper-only interception layer, so shell conveniences such as
-sort-by-length belong conceptually to transmute, not necessarily to the native binary contract.
- The built-in help spans many categories, including pretty-printing, data conversion, text filtering, sequence editing, sequence processing, and variation processing.
- If you do not need direct binary behavior, prefer the public
transmute wrapper for better portability and dependency handling.
