       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.
