How to use vcfuniq from vcflib?

Question

[kshaffman]

Hi, I am trying to use vcfuniq from the vcflib library. It is used to find unique mutations between two VCF files. I cannot figure out how to use this program. I know it is a command-line program, but I just do not know what the commands for this program are and the documentation is kind of lacking. I am trying to use this program through a Linux terminal. I am not very familiar with running command-line programs, so sorry if this is an obvious question.

Here is the link to the GitHub page for this program. https://github.com/vcflib/vcflib
