BlibBuild

Description:  Create a library of spectra

Usage:  BlibBuild [options]  <SSL file>  <library name>

Input:

• <SSL file> - a spectrum-sequence list file containing all of the spectra to be included in the library. See the file formats page for details.
• <library name> - the name of the library being created. If a file of the same name exists, it will be overwritten.

Output:  A spectrum library in which each spectrum has been given a new unique ID number. The initial version of a library is 1.1.

Options:

• -s, --sorted - Indicate that the SSL file is already sorted.
• -v, --verbose <0|1|2|3> - Set the verbosity level of the output to stderr. The default level is 3.
  • 0 is silent,
  • 1 reports the start of each stage in library building as well as any spectra that were not found,
  • 2 additionally reports the the name of each MS2 file that is opened,
  • 3 additionally records progress by printing each scan number that is found.

Bugs:

• Assumes that MS2 files are sorted numerically by scan number.
