Usage and Examples

For general help, run:

./bin/povu -h
# or simply
./bin/povu

povu currently has two subcommands:

• deconstruct: finds flubbles, reports hairpin inversion boundaries
• call: call variants

Building povu

Prerequisites:

• CMake (3.0+ recommended)
• C compiler (e.g., GCC or Clang)

1. Fetch the source code

git clone --recursive https://github.com/urbanslug/povu.git

2. Compile

cmake -H. -Bbuild && cmake --build build -- -j 3

The binary should be in ./bin/povu

Building specific target

Building only the povu library

cmake -H. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -Bbuild && cmake --build build --target povulib -- -j 8

Building only the povu binary

cmake -H. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -Bbuild && cmake --build build --target povu -- -j 8

Development

To compile povu with debug symbols and with address sanitizer

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DUSE_SANITIZER=address  -H. -Bbuild && cmake --build build -- -j 3

Name

The etymology of the name is rooted in profound philosophy 🤔. "Povu," is Kiswahili for "foam." Foam, by nature, comprises countless flubbles.
