=head1 NAME

gccalc - GC content of nucleotide sequences

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  gccalc [-f/--format FORMAT] [-h/--help] filename
  or
  gccalc [-f/--format FORMAT] < filename
  or
  gccalc [-f/--format FORMAT] -i filename

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This scripts prints out the GC content for every nucleotide sequence
from the input file.

=head1 OPTIONS

The default sequence format is fasta.

The sequence input can be provided using any of the three methods:

=over 3

=item unnamed argument

  gccalc filename

=item named argument

  gccalc -i filename

=item standard input

  gccalc < filename
