  Description     : common command-line interface for Pacific Biosciences analysis modules

To integrate with the pbsmrtpipe workflow engine, you must to be able to
generate a Tool Contract and to be able to run from a Resolved Tool Contract.
A Tool Contract contains the metadata of the exe, such as the file types of
inputs, outputs and options.
There are two principal use cases, first wrapping/calling python functions that
have been defined in external python packages, or scripts. Second, creating a
CLI tool that supports emitting tool contracts, running resolved tool contracts
and complete argparse-style CLI.


This package is part of the SMRT Analysis suite and is to be handled by
the Debian Med team.
