USAGE: closest-features [Process-Flags] <input-file> <query-file>

All input files must be sorted per sort-bed. The program accepts BED and Starch file formats May use '-' for a file to indicate reading from standard input (BED format only).
For every element in <input-file>, determine the two elements from <query-file> falling
nearest to its left and right edges (See NOTES below).
By default, echo the <input-file>
element, followed by those left and right elements found in <query-file>.
Process Flags:
--chrom <chromosome>
Jump to and process data for given <chromosome> only.
--closest
Choose the closest element for output only. Ties go the left element.
--delim <delim>
Change output delimiter from '|' to <delim> between columns (e.g. '\t')
--dist
Print the signed distances to the <input-file> element as additional columns of output. An overlapping element has a distance of 0.
--ec
Error check all input files (slower).
--header
Accept headers (VCF, GFF, SAM, BED, WIG) in any input file.
--help
Print this message and exit successfully.
--no-overlaps
Overlapping elements from <query-file> will not be reported.
--no-ref
Do not echo elements from <input-file>.
--version
Print program information.
NOTES:
If an element from <query-file> overlaps the <input-file> element, its distance is zero.
An overlapping element takes precedence over all non-overlapping elements.
This is true
even when the overlapping element's edge-to-edge distance to the <input-file>'s element is greater than the edge-to-edge distance from a non-overlapping element.
Overlapping elements may be ignored completely (no precedence) with --no-overlaps. Elements reported as closest to the left and right edges are never the same. When no qualifying element from <query-file> exists as a closest feature, 'NA' is reported.
