Usage:
  QualityControl <options>

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in_cm <file>*                         ConsensusXML input, generated by FeatureLinker. (valid formats: 'con
                                         sensusXML')
  -in_raw <files>                        MzML input (after InternalCalibration, if available) (valid formats:
                                         'mzML')
  -in_postFDR <files>                    FeatureXMLs after FDR filtering (valid formats: 'featureXML')
  -out <file>                            Output mzTab with QC information (valid formats: 'mzTab')
  -out_cm <file>                         ConsensusXML with QC information (as metavalues) (valid formats: 
                                         'consensusXML')
  -out_feat <files>                      FeatureXMLs with QC information (as metavalues) (valid formats: 'fea
                                         tureXML')

Fragment Mass Error settings:
  -FragmentMassError:unit <unit>         Unit for mass tolerance. 'auto' uses information from FeatureXML 
                                         (default: 'auto' valid: 'auto', 'ppm', 'da')
  -FragmentMassError:tolerance <double>  M/z search window for matching peaks in two spectra (default: '20.0'
                                         )

  -in_contaminants <file>                Proteins considered contaminants (valid formats: 'fasta')
  -in_trafo <file>                       TrafoXMLs from MapAligners (valid formats: 'trafoXML')

MS2 ID Rate settings:
  -MS2_id_rate:assume_all_target         Forces the metric to run even if target/decoy annotation is missing 
                                         (accepts all pep_ids as target hits).

                                         
Common TOPP options:
  -ini <file>                            Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>                           Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (defa
                                         ult: '1')
  -write_ini <file>                      Writes the default configuration file
  --help                                 Shows options
  --helphelp                             Shows all options (including advanced)
