sambamba-slice(1) -- copying a slice of BAM file
=============================================================
## SYNOPSIS
`sambamba slice` [OPTIONS] <input.bam> <region>
## DESCRIPTION
Outputs reads overlapping specified region into new BAM file.
(Default destination is STDOUT.)
Input file must be coordinate-sorted and indexed.
While the same can be done with *sambamba-view*, that would be
much slower due to a lot of compression/decompression work.
Instead of naive method, *sambamba-slice* leverages knowledge
about structure of BAM file and recompresses only a few BGZF
blocks at the beginning and the end of the region, while the
BGZF blocks in the middle are copied as is. As such, this tool
doesn't offer any options related to number of threads or
compression level - most of the time is spent on I/O operations.
## OPTIONS
* `-o`, `--output-filename`=<OUTPUTFILE>:
Name of output file
