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 Public Licence 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 Public Licence 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 Public Licence 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
