PRIMER3_CORE(1) 					       Primer3 User Manuals						   PRIMER3_CORE(1)

NAME

       primer3_core - Designs primers for PCR

SYNOPSIS

       primer3_core [-format_output] [-strict_tags] [< input_file]

DESCRIPTION

       primer3_core picks primers for PCR reactions, considering as criteria oligonucleotide melting temperature, size, GC content and
       primer-dimer possibilities, PCR product size, positional constraints within the source sequence, and miscellaneous other constraints.

       By default, primer3_core accepts input and produces output in Boulder-io format, a pre-XML text-based input/output format for
       program-to-program data interchange format. The Boulder-io format and the commands that primer3_core understands are described in the
       README file, which on Debian systems can be found in /usr/share/doc/primer3/.

OPTIONS

       -format_output
	   Prints a more user-oriented report for each sequence.

       -strict_tags
	   primer3_core echoes and ignores any tags it does not recognize, unless the -strict_tags flag is set on the command line, in which case
	   primer3_core prints an error in the PRIMER_ERROR output tag, and prints additional information on stdout; this option can be useful for
	   debugging systems that incorporate primer.

       Note
       The old flag -2x_compat is no longer supported.

EXIT STATUS CODES

       o   0 on normal operation.

       o   -1 under the following conditions: illegal command-line arguments, unable to fflush stdout, unable to open (for writing and creating) a
	   .for, .rev or .int file (probably due to a protection problem).

       o   -2 on out-of-memory.

       o   -3 empty input.

       o   -4 error in a "Global" input tag (message in PRIMER_ERROR).
