OPTIONS
  -i in_file.h5    Specifies the input HDF5 file.
  -u in_user_file  Specifies the file to be inserted into the user block.
                   Can be any file format except an HDF5 format.
  -o out_file.h5   Specifies the output HDF5 file.
                   If not specified, the user block will be concatenated in
                   place to the input HDF5 file.
  --clobber        Wipes out any existing user block before concatenating
                   the given user block.

                    - the size of existing user block in the input HDF5 file
                    - the size of user block required by new input user file
                   (size = 512 x 2N,  N is positive integer.)
