OPTIONS

17       -a, --assembly STR
18                  Specify the assembly for the AS tag.
19
20       -A, --alias, --alternative-name
21                  Add an AN tag with the same value as the SN tag, except that
22                  a “chr” prefix is removed if SN has one or added if it  does
23                  not.   For  mitochondria (i.e., when SN is “M” or “MT”, with
24                  or without a “chr” prefix), also adds the remaining combina‐
25                  tions of “chr/M/MT” to the AN tag.
26
27       -H, --no-header
28                  Do not print the @HD header line.
29
30       -o, --output FILE
31                  Output to FILE [stdout].
32
33       -s, --species STR
34                  Specify the species for the SP tag.
35
36       -u, --uri STR
37                  Specify  the  URI  for  the UR tag. Defaults to the absolute
38                  path of ref.fasta unless reading from stdin.
