NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSacd - class for EMBOSS Application qualifiers

SYNOPSIS

         # Get an EMBOSS factory
         use Bio::Factory::EMBOSS;
         $f = Bio::Factory::EMBOSS -> new();
         # Get an EMBOSS application  object from the factory
         $water = $f->program('water') || die "Program not found!\n";

         # Here is an example of running the application - water can
         # compare 1 sequence against 1 or more sequences using Smith-Waterman.
         # Pass a Sequence object and a reference to an array of objects.

         my $wateroutfile = 'out.water';
         $water->run({-asequence => $seq_object,
                      -bsequence => \@seq_objects,
                      -gapopen   => '10.0',
                      -gapextend => '0.5',
                      -outfile   => $wateroutfile});

         # Now you might want to get the alignment
         use Bio::AlignIO;
         my $alnin = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'emboss',
                                       -file   => $wateroutfile);

         while ( my $aln = $alnin->next_aln ) {
             # process the alignment -- these will be Bio::SimpleAlign objects
         }

DESCRIPTION

       The EMBOSSacd represents all the possible command line arguments that can be given to an
       EMBOSS application.

       Do not create this object directly. It will be created and attached to its corresponding
       Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication if you set

         $application->verbose > 0

       Call

         $application->acd

       to retrive the Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication::EMBOSSacd object.

       See also Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication and Bio::Factory::EMBOSS.

       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
       your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing lists  Your participation
       is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

        Function: Constructor for the class.
                  Calls EMBOSS program 'acdc', converts the
                  HTML output into XML and uses XML::Twig XML
                  parser to write out a hash of qualifiers which is
                  then blessed.
        Throws  : without program name
        Returns : new object
        Args    : EMBOSS program name

   name
        Title   : name
        Usage   : $embossacd->name
        Function: sets/gets the name of the EMBOSS program
                  Setting is done by the EMBOSSApplication object,
                  you should only get it.
        Throws  :
        Returns : name string
        Args    : None
