  • cat : Concatenates a series of input RAD files into an output RAD file. The input files must have compatible headers (i.e. be built on the same referece, and contain the same tag set).

  • split : The inverse operation of cat. The split operation takes a single RAD file as input and a target number of records, and the splits the input RAD file into several separate smaller RAD files, each with approximately the target number of records.

  • view : Output a RAD file into a textual (currently JSON) format. This can be useful for inspecting the contents of a RAD file or specifically examining or searching for some record or quantity of interest.
