USAGE: starchcat [ --note="..." ]
[ --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.
