Re: [Samtools-help] Samtools view -X

[Nils H. <nil...@gm...>]

Thanks John, I made two pull requests to add the feature back in, although
there were some slight modifications:
* '-x' was taken for outputting HEX, so I used '-Y'.
* there was no character in the flag string for supplementary alignments,
so I used 'S'.

htslib: https://github.com/samtools/htslib/pull/134/files
samtools: https://github.com/samtools/samtools/pull/301

Thank-you for considering my request,

N
