+**What it does**
+
+This is a wrapper for intersecBed.
+
+    Program: intersectBed (v2.13.3)
+    Author:  Aaron Quinlan (aaronquinlan@gmail.com)
+    Summary: Report overlaps between two feature files.
+
+Usage::
+
+    intersectBed [OPTIONS] -a (bed/gff/vcf) -b (bed/gff/vcf)
+
+Options:: 
+	-abam	The A input file is in BAM format.  Output will be BAM as well.
+
+	-ubam	Write uncompressed BAM output. Default is to write compressed BAM.
+
+	-bed	When using BAM input (-abam), write output as BED. The default
+		is to write output in BAM when using -abam.
+
+	-wa	Write the original entry in A for each overlap.
+
+	-wb	Write the original entry in B for each overlap.
+		- Useful for knowing _what_ A overlaps. Restricted by -f and -r.
+
+	-wo	Write the original A and B entries plus the number of base
+		pairs of overlap between the two features.
+		- Overlaps restricted by -f and -r.
+		  Only A features with overlap are reported.
+
+	-wao	Write the original A and B entries plus the number of base
+		pairs of overlap between the two features.
+		- Overlapping features restricted by -f and -r.
+		  However, A features w/o overlap are also reported
+		  with a NULL B feature and overlap = 0.
+
+	-u	Write the original A entry _once_ if _any_ overlaps found in B.
+		- In other words, just report the fact >=1 hit was found.
+		- Overlaps restricted by -f and -r.
+
+	-c	For each entry in A, report the number of overlaps with B.
+		- Reports 0 for A entries that have no overlap with B.
+		- Overlaps restricted by -f and -r.
+
+	-v	Only report those entries in A that have _no overlaps_ with B.
+		- Similar to "grep -v" (an homage).
+
+	-f	Minimum overlap required as a fraction of A.
+		- Default is 1E-9 (i.e., 1bp).
+		- FLOAT (e.g. 0.50)
+
+	-r	Require that the fraction overlap be reciprocal for A and B.
+		- In other words, if -f is 0.90 and -r is used, this requires
+		  that B overlap 90% of A and A _also_ overlaps 90% of B.
+
+	-s	Require same strandedness.  That is, only report hits in B that
+		overlap A on the _same_ strand.
+		- By default, overlaps are reported without respect to strand.
+
+	-S	Require different strandedness.  That is, only report hits in B that
+		overlap A on the _opposite_ strand.
+		- By default, overlaps are reported without respect to strand.
+
+	-split	Treat "split" BAM or BED12 entries as distinct BED intervals.
+
+	-sorted	Use the "chromsweep" algorithm for sorted (-k1,1 -k2,2n) input
+		NOTE: this will trust, but not enforce that data is sorted. Caveat emptor.
