[[Category:bamUtil]]
When the pipeline is compiled, the SAM/BAM executable, "bam" is generated in the pipeline/bam/ directory.
+
[[Category:C++]]
 +
[[Category:Software]]
   −
The software reads the beginning of an input file to determine if it is SAM/BAM.  To determine the format (SAM/BAM) of the output file, the software checks the output file's extension.  If the extension is ".bam" it writes a BAM file, otherwise it writes a SAM file.
+
= bamUtil Overview =
 +
 
 +
bamUtil is a repository that contains several programs that perform operations on SAM/BAM filesAll of these programs are built into a single executable, <code>bam</code>.
   −
The bam executable has the following functions.
  −
* [[C++ Executable: bam#Read and Validate a SAM/BAM file|Read and Validate a SAM/BAM file]]
  −
* [[C++ Executable: bam#Read a SAM/BAM file and write as a SAM/BAM file|Read a SAM/BAM file and write as a SAM/BAM file]]
  −
* [[C++ Executable: bam#Dump a BAM index file|Dump a BAM index file into an easy to read text version]]
  −
* [[C++ Executable: bam#Read & Write indexed BAM file|Read an indexed BAM file reference by reference id -1 to 22 and write it out as a SAM/BAM file]]
     −
This executable is built using the [[C++ Library: bam|bam library]].
+
== Getting Help ==
    +
If you have any questions please use the [https://github.com/statgen/bamUtil bamUtil GitHub page] to raise and issue.
   −
== Read and Validate a SAM/BAM file ==
+
See [[BamUtil: FAQ]] to see if your question has already been answered.
   −
The <code>validate</code> option on the bam executable validates a SAM/BAM file. 
+
== Where to Find It ==
 +
{{ToolGitRepo|repoName=bamUtil}}
   −
The validation checks that the file is sorted as specified in the user options.  Default is unsorted, in which case, no order validation is done.
+
== Releases ==
   −
SAM fields are validated against: [[SAM Validation Criteria]]
+
If you prefer to run the last official release rather than the latest development version, you can download that here.
   −
'''NOTE: Currently only minimal validation is currently done.'''
+
There are two versions of the release, one that include libStatGen and one that does not.  If you already have libStatGen installed and want to use your own copy, use the version that does not include libStatGen.
   −
=== Parameters ===
+
=== Full Release (includes libStatGen) ===
<pre>
  −
    Required Parameters:

  −
--so_coord          : validate the file is sorted based on the coordinate.
  −

  −
                      -1 (default) indicates to not quit until the entire file is validated.
  −
                      0 indicates not to read/validate anything.

== Read a SAM/BAM file and write as a SAM/BAM file ==
+
=== Release of just BamUtil (does not include libStatGen) ===
This executable takes 2/3 arguments.  The first argument is the input file.  The second argument is the output file.  The executable converts the first file into the format of the second file.  So if you want to convert a BAM file to a SAM file, from the pipeline/bam/ directory you just call:
  −
./bam <bamFile>.bam <newSamFile>.sam
  −
Don't forget to put in the paths to the executable and your test files.
  −
The third argument, <code>NOEOF</code>, specifies that the End-Of-File Block should not be checked for when opening the file.
     −
=== Usage ===
+
To install an official release, unpack the downloaded file (tar xvf), cd into the bamUtil_x.x.x directory and type make all.
./bam <inputFile> <outputFile.sam/bam/ubam (ubam is uncompressed bam)> [NOEOF]

=== Usage ===
+
The software reads the beginning of an input file to determine if it is SAM/BAM. To determine the format (SAM/BAM) of the output file, the software checks the output file's extension.  If the extension is ".bam" it writes a BAM file, otherwise it writes a SAM file.
