...]
* 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.
