DESCRIPTION

       wossname is a command line program from EMBOSS (“the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite”). It
       is part of the "Documentation" command group(s).

OPTIONS

   Input section
       -search string
           Enter a word or words here and a case-independent search for it will be made in the one-line
           documentation, group names and keywords of all of the EMBOSS programs. If no keyword is specified,
           all programs will be listed.

   Additional section
       -explode boolean
           The groups that EMBOSS applications belong to have two forms, exploded and not exploded. The exploded
           group names are more numerous and often vaguely phrased than the non-exploded ones. The exploded
           names are formed from definitions of the group names that start like NAME1:NAME2 and which are then
           expanded into many combinations of the names as: 'NAME1', 'NAME2', 'NAME1 NAME2', NAME2 NAME1'. The
           non-expanded names are simply like: 'NAME1 NAME2'. Default value: N

       -allmatch boolean
           By default, all words in the search string must match. This option searches for a match to any word
           in a list of possibilities Default value: Y

       -showkeywords boolean
           Default value: N

   Advanced section
       -emboss boolean
           If you use this option then EMBOSS program documentation will be searched. If this option is set to
           be false, then only the EMBASSY programs will be searched (if the -embassy option is true). EMBASSY
           programs are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the same look and
           feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the programs to be outside of the GNU General
           Public License scheme Default value: Y

       -embassy boolean
           If you use this option then EMBASSY program documentation will be searched. If this option is set to
           be false, then only the EMBOSS programs will be searched (if the -emboss option is true). EMBASSY
           programs are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the same look and
           feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the programs to be outside of the GNU General
           Public License scheme Default value: Y

       -showembassy string
           If you use this option then this EMBASSY package program documentation will be searched. EMBASSY
           programs are not strictly part of EMBOSS, but use the same code libraries and share the same look and
           feel, but are generally developed by people who wish the programs to be outside of the GNU General
           Public License scheme

       -colon boolean
           The groups that EMBOSS applications belong to up to two levels, for example the primary group
           'ALIGNMENT' has several sub-groups, or second-level groups, e.g.: CONSENSUS, DIFFERENCES, DOT PLOTS,
           GLOBAL, LOCAL, MULTIPLE. To aid programs that parse the output of wossname that require the names of
           these subgroups, a colon ':' will be placed between the first and second level of the group name if
           this option is true. Note: This does not apply if the group names have been exploded with the
           'explode' option. Default value: N

       -gui boolean
           This option is intended to help those who are designing Graphical User Interfaces to the EMBOSS
           applications. Some EMBOSS programs are inappropriate for running in a GUI, these include other menu
           programs and interactive editors. This option allows you to only report those programs that can be
           run from a GUI Default value: N

   Output section
       -outfile outfile
           Default value: stdout

   Html section
       -html toggle
           If you are sending the output to a file, this will format it for displaying as a table in a WWW
           document. Default value: N

       -groups boolean
           If you use this option, then only the group names will be output to the file Default value: N

       -alphabetic boolean
           If you use this option, then you will get a single list of the program names and descriptions instead
           of the programs being listed in their functional groups. Default value: N
