       This command and its various subcomments implement a number of operations on KMC databases.

   k-merssetsoperationsfor2KMCdatabasesintersect
           intersection of 2 k-mers sets

       kmers_subtract
           subtraction of 2 k-mers sets

       counters_subtract
           counters subtraction of 2 k-mer sets

       union
           union of 2 k-mers sets

   operationsforsinglekmcdatabasesort
           sorts k-mers from database generated by KMC2.x

       reduce
           exclude too rare and too frequent k-mers

       compact
           remove counters (store only k-mers)

       histogram
           histogram of k-mers occurr ences

       dump
           dump k-mers and counters to text file

   morecomplexoperations:complex
           complex operations with a number of input databases

   otheroperations:filter
