Description
Description of feature
As discussed in the slack thread
In @jfy133 words:
We need a new section for listing each args (2, 3, 4) with the sole(?) metadata
for each one is simply the tool of the pipe it is effecting.
In @mirpedrol words:
We want an extra section in the meta.yml to describe the ext.args values.
At the level of tools , inputs and outputs.
It would look like this:
tools:
- "bcftools":
description: "..."
homepage: ...
args_id: "$args"
identifier: biotools:bcftools
- "bcftools plugin setGT":
description: "..."
homepage: ...
args_id: "$args2"
identifier: biotools:bcftools
args:
- args:
description: ""
- args2:
description: ""
input:
- - meta:
...
- vcf:
...
