OPTIONS

-f
reference files are Fasta (default)
-c

--large-index
force generated index to be 'large', even if ref has fewer than 4 billion nucleotides
-C/--color
build a colorspace index
-a/--noauto
disable automatic -p/--bmax/--dcv memory-fitting
-p/--packed
use packed strings internally; slower, uses less mem
--bmax <int>

--bmaxdivn <int>
max bucket sz as divisor of ref len (default: 4)
--dcv <int>
diff-cover period for blockwise (default: 1024)
--nodc
disable diff-cover (algorithm becomes quadratic)

don't build .3/.4.ebwt (packed reference) portion
-3/--justref
just build .3/.4.ebwt (packed reference) portion
-o/--offrate <int>
SA is sampled every 2^offRate BWT chars (default: 5)
-t/--ftabchars <int>
# of chars consumed in initial lookup (default: 10)
--ntoa
