USAGE: starchcat [ --note="..." ]

[ --bzip2 | --gzip ] [ --omit-signature ] [ --report-progress=N ] <starch-file-1> [<starch-file-2> ...]

* At least one lexicographically-sorted, headerless starch archive is

required.

* While two or more inputs make sense for a multiset union operation, you

can starchcat one file in order to update its metadata, recompress it with a different backend method, or add a note annotation.

* Compressed data are sent to standard output. Use the '>' operator to

redirect to a file.

Process Flags -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --note="foo bar..." Append note to output archive metadata (optional).

--bzip2 | --gzip

Specify backend compression type (optional, default is bzip2).

--omit-signature

Skip generating per-chromosome data integrity signature (optional, default is to generate signature).

--report-progress=N

Report compression progress every N elements per chromosome to standard error stream (optional)

--version
