NAME

       bamsplitdiv - split BAM file into a set of BAM files

SYNOPSIS

       bamsplitdiv [options]

DESCRIPTION

       bamsplitdiv  reads  a  BAM  file  via standard input and creates a set of output BAM files containing the
       alignments in the input. Given a positive natural number div  bamsplitdiv  will  create  div  files.  The
       alignments  in  the input file will be distributed to the output files in a round robin type scheme, i.e.
       entries 0, div, 2div, 3div, etc. will be written to the first output file, 1,div+1,2div+1,  3div+1,  etc.
       to the second etc.

       The following key=value pairs can be given:

       div=<1>: number of output files

       prefix=<filename>  prefix  for  the create files. The created files will have names ${prefix}_000000.bam,
       ${prefix}_000001.bam, etc.

       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
