       USAGE: starchstrip [ --include | --exclude ] <chromosome-list> <starch-file>

              * Add either the --include or --exclude argument to filter the specified

              <starch-file>  for chromosomes in <chromosome-list> for inclusion or exclusion, respectively. Note
              that you can only specify either inclusion or exclusion.

              * The <chromosome-list> argument is a comma-separated list of chromosome names

              to be included or excluded. This list is a *required* argument to either of the two --include  and
              --exclude options.

              * The output is a Starch archive containing those chromosomes specified for inclusion

              or what chromosomes remain after exclusion from the original <starch-file>. A new metadata payload
              is appended to the output Starch archive.

              * The output is written to the standard output stream -- use the output redirection

              operator to write the result to a regular file, e.g.:

              $ starchstrip --exclude chrA,chrB,chrC in.starch > out.starch

              * If a specified chromosome is not in the input Starch archive, it will be ignored

              during processing.

              * Filtering simply copies over raw bytes from the input Starch archive and

              no extraction or recompression is performed. Use  'starchcat'  to  update  the  metadata,  if  new
              attributes are required.

              Process Flags -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --include
