+description: |
+  usage: MaskPrimers.py [-h] [-v]  ...
+  
+  Removes primers and annotates sequences with primer and barcode identifiers
+  
+  optional arguments:
+    -h, --help     show this help message and exit
+    -v, --version  show program's version number and exit
+  
+  subcommands:
+                   Alignment method
+      align        Find primer matches using pairwise local alignment
+      score        Find primer matches by scoring primers at a fixed position
+  
+  output files:
+    mask-pass      processed reads with successful primer matches.
+    mask-fail      raw reads failing primer identification.
+  
+  output annotation fields:
+    SEQORIENT      the orientation of the output sequence. Either F (input)
+                   or RC (reverse complement of input).
+    PRIMER         name of the best primer match.
+    BARCODE        the sequence preceding the primer match. Only output when
+                   the --barcode flag is specified.
