        positional arguments <subcommand>: {k,w,g,c}

        List of subcommands
        k       k-mer shuffling generator
        w       k-mer shuffling within a sliding window generator
        g       %GC distribution-based background chooser
        c       GC distribution and %GC composition within a sliding window background chooser

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit

And to view the help for the six subcommands k, w, g, and c type:
