# NAME

DB2fasta - create fasta files from a Dazzler database

# SYNOPSIS

**DB2fasta** [**-vU**] [**-w***int(80)*] *path:db*

# DESCRIPTION

The set of .fasta files for the given DB are recreated from the DB exactly as
they were input. That is, this is a perfect inversion, including the
reconstitution of the proper .fasta headers. Because of this property, one can,
if desired, delete the .fasta source files once they are in the DB as they can
always be recreated from it. By default the output sequences are in lower case
and 80 chars per line.  The **-U** option specifies upper case should be used,
and the characters per line, or line width, can be set to any positive value
with the **-w** option.
