+**What it does**
+
+Converts positional information from a SAM dataset into interval format with 0-based start and 1-based end. CIGAR string of SAM format is used to compute the end coordinate.
+
+-----
+
+**Example**
+
+Converting the following dataset::
+
+ r001 163 ref  7 30 8M2I4M1D3M = 37  39 TTAGATAAAGGATACTA *
+ r002   0 ref  9 30 3S6M1P1I4M *  0   0 AAAAGATAAGGATA    *
+ r003   0 ref  9 30       5H6M *  0   0 AGCTAA            * NM:i:1
+ r004   0 ref 16 30    6M14N5M *  0   0 ATAGCTTCAGC       *
+ r003  16 ref 29 30       6H5M *  0   0 TAGGC             * NM:i:0
+ r001  83 ref 37 30         9M =  7 -39 CAGCGCCAT         *
+
+into Interval format will produce the following if *Print all?* is set to **Yes**::
+
+ ref  6 22 + r001 163 ref  7 30 8M2I4M1D3M = 37  39 TTAGATAAAGGATACTA *
+ ref  8 19 + r002   0 ref  9 30 3S6M1P1I4M *  0   0 AAAAGATAAGGATA    *
+ ref  8 14 + r003   0 ref  9 30 5H6M       *  0   0 AGCTAA            * NM:i:1
+ ref 15 40 + r004   0 ref 16 30 6M14N5M    *  0   0 ATAGCTTCAGC       *
+ ref 28 33 - r003  16 ref 29 30 6H5M       *  0   0 TAGGC             * NM:i:0
+ ref 36 45 - r001  83 ref 37 30 9M         =  7 -39 CAGCGCCAT         *
+ 
+Setting  *Print all?* to **No** will generate the following::
+
+ ref  6 22 + r001
+ ref  8 19 + r002
+ ref  8 14 + r003
+ ref 15 40 + r004
+ ref 28 33 - r003
+ ref 36 45 - r001
