Are there 'official' knowntypes for stdout, stderr (outfile) ? And
the equivalent of 'dna fasta' for protein infile ?
There are official knowntypes for files ... see the knowntypes.standard
file in the ACD directory.
These are the knowntypes we use in the ACD files. We welcome any
suggestions for new types or changes to the existing types.
The knowntypes are only used for validation (in acdvalid). We limit the
types to try to reuse the same names for matching input and output files
in different applications.
We will add a "protein fasta" and a "sequence fasta" to the standards file.
"Protein fasta" and "sequence fasta" were missing.
stdout is less required because it should be the normal program output.
But you should add a knowntype for stderr.
There is no problem with adding new knowntypes for your own
applications, but we like to know which ones are found to be useful so
we can make them official EMBOSS standard types too.

Peter Rice
