Usage: java -jar dist/bam2fastq.jar  [options] Files
Usage: bam2fastq [options] Files
  Options:
    -d, --distance
      put the reads in memory if they're lying within that distance. A 
      distance specified as a positive integer.Commas are removed. The 
      following suffixes are interpreted : b,bp,k,kb,m,mb,g,gb
      Default: 5000
    -R1, --forward
      Save fastq_R1 to file (default: stdout)
    -h, --help
      print help and exit
    --helpFormat

    --maxRecordsInRam

      of records stored in RAM before spilling to disk. Increasing this number 
      reduces the number of file  handles needed to sort a file, and increases 
      the amount of RAM needed
      Default: 50000
    -R, --reference
      Indexed fasta Reference file. This file must be indexed with samtools 
      faidx and with picard/gatk CreateSequenceDictionary or samtools dict
    --regions
      Limit analysis to this interval. A source of intervals. The following 
      suffixes are recognized: vcf, vcf.gz bed, bed.gz, gtf, gff, gff.gz, 
      gtf.gz.Otherwise it could be an empty string (no interval) or a list of 
      plain interval separated by '[ \t\n;,]'
    -R2, --reverse
      Save fastq_R2 to file (default: interlaced with forward)
    -R0, --single
      Save single-end to this file. If unspecified, single-end reads are 
      ignored. 
    --tmpDir
      tmp working directory. Default: java.io.tmpDir
      Default: []
    -U1, --unpaired-forward
      Save unresolved forward pair to file. If unspecified, unresolved reads 
      are ignored.
    -U2, --unpaired-reverse
      Save unresolved forward pair to file. If unspecified, unresolved reads 
      are ignored.
    --validation-stringency
      SAM Reader Validation Stringency
      Default: LENIENT
      Possible Values: [STRICT, LENIENT, SILENT]
