.TH BAMSPLITDIV 1 "October 2013" BIOBAMBAM
.SH NAME
bamsplitdiv - split BAM file into a set of BAM files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
.B bamsplitdiv
[options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
bamsplitdiv reads a BAM file via standard input and creates a set of output
BAM files containing the alignments in the input. Given a positive natural
number 
.I div 
bamsplitdiv will create div files. The alignments in the input file will be
distributed to the output files in a round robin type scheme, i.e. entries
0, div, 2div, 3div, etc. will be written to the first output file, 1,div+1,2div+1,
3div+1, etc. to the second etc.
.PP
The following key=value pairs can be given:
.PP
.B div=<1>:
number of output files
.PP
.B prefix=<filename>
prefix for the create files. The created files will have names ${prefix}_000000.bam, ${prefix}_000001.bam, etc.
.PP
.B level=<-1|0|1|9|11>:
set compression level of the output BAM file. Valid
values are
.IP -1:
zlib/gzip default compression level
.IP 0:
uncompressed
.IP 1:
zlib/gzip level 1 (fast) compression
.IP 9:
zlib/gzip level 9 (best) compression
.P
If libmaus has been compiled with support for igzip (see
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/igzip-a-high-performance-deflate-compressor-with-optimizations-for-genomic-data)
then an additional valid value is
.IP 11:
igzip compression
.PP
.B verbose=<1>:
Valid values are
.IP 1:
print progress report on standard error
.IP 0:
do not print progress report
