+Print the alignment in the pileup format. In the pileup format, each
+line represents a genomic position, consisting of chromosome name,
+coordinate, reference base, read bases, read qualities and alignment
+mapping qualities. Information on match, mismatch, indel, strand,
+mapping quality and start and end of a read are all encoded at the read
+base column. At this column, a dot stands for a match to the reference
+base on the forward strand, a comma for a match on the reverse strand,
+a '>' or '<' for a reference skip, `ACGTN' for a mismatch on the forward
+strand and `acgtn' for a mismatch on the reverse strand. A pattern
+`\\+[0-9]+[ACGTNacgtn]+' indicates there is an insertion between this
+reference position and the next reference position. The length of the
+insertion is given by the integer in the pattern, followed by the
+inserted sequence. Similarly, a pattern `-[0-9]+[ACGTNacgtn]+'
+represents a deletion from the reference. The deleted bases will be
+presented as `*' in the following lines. Also at the read base column, a
+symbol `^' marks the start of a read. The ASCII of the character
+following `^' minus 33 gives the mapping quality. A symbol `$' marks the
+end of a read segment.
+
+If option
+.B -c
+is applied, the consensus base, Phred-scaled consensus quality, SNP
+quality (i.e. the Phred-scaled probability of the consensus being
+identical to the reference) and root mean square (RMS) mapping quality
+of the reads covering the site will be inserted between the `reference
+base' and the `read bases' columns. An indel occupies an additional
+line. Each indel line consists of chromosome name, coordinate, a star,
+the genotype, consensus quality, SNP quality, RMS mapping quality, #
+covering reads, the first alllele, the second allele, # reads supporting
+the first allele, # reads supporting the second allele and # reads
+containing indels different from the top two alleles.
