## NAME

mcxdump - dump matrices, optionally map indices to labels

## SYNOPSIS

mcxdump -imx <fname> (matrix file) [-dump <fname> (dumpf file ('-' for stdout))] [-tab <fname> (row/column tab (label) file)] [-tabc <fname> (column tab file)] [-tabr <fname> (row tab file)] [--lazy-tab (allow tab/domain mismatch)] [--no-values (omit values)] [--dump-pairs (emit pairs per line)] [--dump-lines (emit rows per line)] [--dump-rlines (omit leading column node)] [-sep-value <str> (node/value separator)] [-sep <str> (field separator)] [-h (list help)] [--apropos (list synopsis of all options)]

## DESCRIPTION

mcxdump reads a data file satisfying the mcl input format (refer to mcxio). It outputs a line-based format. The --dump-pairs option yields a single matrix entry per line, identified by the respective column and row identifiers (either index or label) separated by the field separator. The --dump-lines and --dump-rlines result in the joining of all row entries on a single line, separated by the field separator. For both formats, the matrix value corresponding with a particular entry is by default output as well.

## OPTIONS

-imx <fname> (matrix file)
|  | Input matrix.
-dump <fname> (dumpf file ('-' for stdout))
|  | Output stream.
-tab <fname> (row/column tab (label) file)
|  | Substitute column indices and row indices by labels from the tab file. Since the same tab file is used for both, this implies that the matrix domains are identical.
-tabc <fname> (column tab file)
|  | Substitute column indices by labels from the tab file.
-tabr <fname> (row tab file)
|  | Substitute row indices by labels from the tab file.
--lazy-tab (allow tab/domain mismatch)
|  | If used, the tab file domain(s) do not necessarily need to match the corresponding domain in the input matrix. Entries missing in the tab files will be replaced by a question mark.
--no-values (omit values)
|  | Do not emit values.
--dump-pairs (emit pairs per line)
|  | Output a single pair of column-identifier and row-identifier per line, optionally followed by the value of the corresponding matrix entry. All fields are separated by the field separator.
--dump-lines (emit rows per line)
|  | For each matrix column, the corresponding row is output on a single line, with row identifiers separated by the field separator and values attached to the row identifier by the node/value separator. In this format, the column identifier is output as the leading field.
--dump-rlines (omit leading column node)
|  | As the option above, except that the column identifier is not output.
-sep-value <str> (node/value separator)
|  | Set the node/value separator for line based row ensemble output.
-sep <str> (field separator)
|  | Set the field separator.
-h (list help)
|  | Print help, this could possibly be the same output as supplied with --apropos.
--apropos (list synopsis of all options)
|  | List a one-line synopsis for all options.
