int2cif(1)
===========

NAME
----
int2cif - Convert the old-style INTensity format files into CIF files.

SYNOPSIS
--------

*int2cif*   -r readlen file

*int2cif*   --help

*int2cif*   --licence

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Converts the depreciate INT style format intensity files for the
Illumina platform (e.g. s_2_0001_int.txt.gz) into CIF format files. If
no file is given on the commandline, intensity information is read
from stdin (and assumed to be uncompressed). The binary CIF output is
written to stdout.

General INT data is stored to one decimal place whereas CIF intensity 
data is rounded to the nearest integer, so some precision is lost
during the conversion. The CIF format does not contain the coordinates
of the clusters.

*-r, --readlen* read length [required argument]::
Number of cycles in intensity data to read.

*-h, --help*::
Display information about usage and exit.

*--licence*::
Display licence terms and exit.
