DESCRIPTION

       vcflib  contains  tools and libraries for dealing with the Variant Call Format (VCF) which
       is a flat-file,  tab-delimited  textual  format  intended  to  describe  reference-indexed
       variations between individuals.

       VCF  provides  a common interchange format for the description of variation in individuals
       and populations of samples, and has become the defacto standard  reporting  format  for  a
       wide array of genomic variant detectors.

       vcflib  provides  methods  to  manipulate  and  interpret  sequence variation as it can be
       described by VCF.  It is both:

       • an API for parsing and operating on records of genomic variation as it can be  described
         by the VCF format,

       • and  a  collection  of command-line utilities for executing complex manipulations on VCF
         files.

       The API itself provides a quick and extremely permissive method  to  read  and  write  VCF
       files.   Extensions  and  applications  of  the library provided in the included utilities
       (*.cpp) comprise the vast bulk of the library’s utility for most users.
