NAME

       srf_index_hash - Adds a hash-table index to an SRF file.

SYNOPSIS

       srf_index_hash  [-c] srf_archive

DESCRIPTION

       srf_index_hash adds and index to an SRF file or replaces an existing index with a new one.
       In the case of concatenated SRF files only the  index  at  the  end  of  a  file  will  be
       replaced, but internal indices will not be consulted by SRF tools.

       The  index  is  a  hash  table  indexing the sequence names only. The name itself does not
       appear in the index, rather the top 7-bits of a 64-bit hash key  are  held  in  the  index
       along with N-bits used to determine the hash bucket. This reduces the index size to around
       10-15 bytes per sequence.

OPTIONS

       -c     Check only. This requests that the index is not produced, but the checks  performed
              during  the creation of an index (such as looking for duplicate sequence names) are
              still performed.
