# libpwiz(3)

library to perform proteomics data analyses (runtime)

## NAME

libpwiz - library to perform proteomics data analyses (runtime)

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **libpwiz** package that brings a library library to perform proteomics data analyses. ProteoWizard provides a modular and extensible set of open-source, cross-platform tools and libraries. The tools perform proteomics data analyses; the libraries enable rapid tool creation by providing a robust, pluggable development framework that simplifies and unifies data file access, and performs standard chemistry and LCMS dataset computations.

## EXAMPLES OF BINARIES -Ipwiz/data/msdata/ramp

All these programs (in \`/usr/lib/libpwizX/example-files' could be built using the command line shown after the binary name:

\- mscat (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz mscat.cpp -o mscat)

\- hello\_analyzer\_2 (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz hello\_analyzer\_2.cpp -o hello\_analyzer\_2)

\- hello\_analyzer (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz hello\_analyzer.cpp -o hello\_analyzer)

\- hello\_msdata (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz hello\_msdata.cpp -o hello\_msdata)

\- txt2mzml (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz -l boost\_filesystem -l boost\_system txt2mzml.cpp -o txt2mzml)

\- hello\_ramp (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -I /usr/include/libpwiz/pwiz/data/msdata/ramp -l pwiz hello\_ramp.cpp -o hello\_ramp)

\- write\_example\_files (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz write\_example\_files.cpp -o write\_example\_files)

\- write\_mzid\_example\_files (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz write\_mzid\_example\_files.cpp -o write\_mzid\_example\_files)

\- write\_proteome\_example\_files (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz write\_proteome\_example\_files.cpp -o write\_proteome\_example\_files)

\- write\_traml\_example\_files (g++ -I /usr/include/libpwiz -l pwiz write\_traml\_example\_files.cpp -o write\_traml\_example\_files)

The -I /usr/include/libpwiz specifies the location of the include files for the whole proteowizard project.  The -l pwiz specifies the libpwiz library to be linked-in so as to build the binaries.
