C compilers on different systems lay out structures differently.
In some cases there can even be layout differences between different
C compilers on the same system. Compilers add gaps between fields,
and these gaps have different sizes and are at different locations.
You can normally assume that there are no gaps between fields of type char
or array of char. However, you can not make any assumptions about
gaps between fields of any larger type. You also can not make any
assumptions about the layout of bitfield types.

glam2format
GLAM2FORMAT(1) glam2 Manual GLAM2FORMAT(1)
NAME
glam2format - converts GLAM2 motifs to FASTA or MSF format
SYNOPSIS
glam2format [options] my_format my_motif.glam2
Formats: fasta, msf.
DESCRIPTION
glam2format reads in a motif found by glam2, and writes it in a standard alignment format (FASTA-with-gaps or MSF). This enables the
alignment to be passed to third-party software, including graphical visualization tools such as Kalignvu, Boxshade, and WebLogo. On the
other hand, not all the motif information is preserved: in particular, the key positions are lost. Only the top motif in glam2 output is
converted.
OPTIONS (DEFAULT SETTINGS)
-o
Output file (stdout).
-c
Make a compact alignment. By default, residues that are inserted between key positions are written as unaligned with each other. This
best reflects glam2's intention, but it can make the alignment large and full of gaps. With -c, inserted residues are written as
arbitrarily aligned with each other, just as they appear in the glam2 output.
-f
Sequence file to make a "global" alignment by adding flanking sequences from the original FASTA-format sequence file. The flanking
sequences will be written as either unaligned with each other or arbitrarily aligned, depending on the -c option. The sequences should
have unique names and their order should be unchanged.
