              [ --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.
