It depends on the pdb file format.
There is a "pdb" sequence format that reads from the ATOM records, but
fails on some pdb entries.
There is also a "pdbseq" sequence format (-sf pdbseq on the command line)
that reads the SEQRES records.
If you find a PDB file that fails to read, please let us know. I just
tested on an old 2ins entry file and it found zero sequences and failed (it
was designed for a cleaned up PDB format).
