``bedtools complement`` returns all intervals in a genome that are **not**
covered by at least one interval in the input BED/GFF/VCF file.
.. seealso::
:doc:`../tools/merge`
==========================================================================
Usage and option summary
==========================================================================
**Usage**:
::
bedtools complement -i <BED/GFF/VCF> -g <GENOME>
**(or)**:
::
complementBed -i <BED/GFF/VCF> -g <GENOME>
==========================================================================
Default behavior
==========================================================================
By default, ``bedtools complement`` returns all genomic intervals that are not
covered by at least one record from the input file.
.. code-block:: bash
