VcfSplitNVariants

Split VCF to ‘N’ VCF files, or by number fo variant of by distance between variants

Usage

This program is now part of the main jvarkit tool. See jvarkit for compiling.

Usage: java -jar dist/jvarkit.jar vcfsplitnvariants  [options] Files

Usage: vcfsplitnvariants [options] Files
  Options:
    --distance
      distance between variants. Or use --variants-count or --vcf-count. A 
      distance specified as a positive integer.Commas are removed. The

      Default: false
    -m, --manifest
      write optional manifest to that file.
  * -o, --output, --prefix
      files prefix
    --variants-count, --vc-count, --n-variants
      number of variants. Or use --vcf-count or --distance
      Default: -1
    --vcf-count, --n-vcfs
      number of output vcf files. Or use --variants-count or --distance
