NAME

       hmmconvert - convert profile file to a HMMER format

SYNOPSIS

       hmmconvert [options] <hmmfile>

DESCRIPTION

       The hmmconvert utility converts an input profile file to different HMMER formats.

       By  default,  the input profile can be in any HMMER format, including old/obsolete formats from HMMER2, ASCII or binary; the output profile
       is a current HMMER3 ASCII format.

OPTIONS

       -h     Help; print a brief reminder of command line usage and all available options.

       -a     Output profiles in ASCII text format. This is the default.

       -b     Output profiles in binary format.

       -2     Output in legacy HMMER2 ASCII text format, in ls (glocal) mode. This allows HMMER3 models to be converted back to a close approxima-
	      tion of HMMER2, for comparative studies.

       --outfmt <s>
	      Output  in a HMMER3 ASCII text format other then the most current one.  Valid choices for <s> are 3/b or 3/a.  The current format is
	      3/b, and this is the default. There is a slightly different format 3/a that was used in some alpha test code.
