Simple fastq read and base counter for paired data.
Running the counter is as simple as:
fastq-count r1.fq r2.fq
Fastq files may be gzip compressed. When they are, their filenames must end in
.gz.
fastq-count returns a simple json, with schema:
json
{
"reads": {"type": "integer"},
"bases": {"type": "integer"}
}
