bamrecompress - recompress BAM file
bamrecompress [options]
bamrecompress reads a BAM file from standard input and writes it to standard
output using a given compression setting. This program is capable of using
multi threading.
The following key=value pairs can be given:
level=<-1|0|1|9|11>: set compression level of the output BAM file.
Valid values are
- -1:
- zlib/gzip default compression level
- 0:
- uncompressed
- 1:
- zlib/gzip level 1 (fast) compression
- 9:
- zlib/gzip level 9 (best) compression
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
- 11:
- igzip compression
verbose=<1>: Valid values are
- 1:
- print progress report on standard error
- 0:
- do not print progress report
numthreads=<1> number of threads to be used for
comrpession/decompression (one by default)
tmpfile=<filename>: prefix for temporary files. By default the
temporary files are created in the current directory
md5=<0|1>: md5 checksum creation for output file. Valid values are
- 0:
- do not compute checksum. This is the default.
- 1:
- compute checksum. If the md5filename key is set, then the
checksum is written to the given file. If md5filename is unset, then no
checksum will be computed.
md5filename file name for md5 checksum if md5=1.
index=<0|1>: compute BAM index for output file. Valid values are
- 0:
- do not compute BAM index. This is the default.
- 1:
- compute BAM index. If the indexfilename key is set, then
the BAM index is written to the given file. If indexfilename is unset,
then no BAM index will be computed.
indexfilename file name for BAM index if index=1.
