DESCRIPTION

       A tool for reducing the size of an Oxford Nanopore Technologies dataset without losing any
       data

       picopore-realtime monitors a directory for new reads and compresses them in real time

OPTIONS

   positional arguments:
       input  list of directories or fast5 files to shrink

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       --mode {lossless,deep-lossless,raw}
              choose compression mode

       --revert
              reverts files to original size (lossless modes only)

       --fastq, --no-fastq
              retain FASTQ data (raw mode only) (Default: --fastq)

       --summary, --no-summary
              retain summary data (raw mode only) (Default: --nosummary)

       --manual STR
              manually remove only groups  whose  paths  contain  STR  (raw  mode  only,  regular
              expressions permitted, overrides defaults)

       -v, --version
              show version number and exit

       -y     skip confirm step

       -t INT, --threads INT
              number of threads (Default: 1)

       --prefix STR
              add prefix to output files to prevent overwrite

       --skip-root, --no-skip-root
              ignore  files in root input directories for albacore realtime compression (Default:
              --no-skip-root)

       --print-every INT
              print a dot every approximately INT files, or -1 to silence (Default: 100)
