+description "Converts energy parameter files from \"old\" ViennaRNAPackage 1.8.4 format to\
+ the new format used since ViennaRNAPackage 2.0.\nThe Program reads a valid energy parameter\
+ file or valid energy parameters from stdin and prints the converted energy parameters to\
+ stdout or a specified output file. Per default, the converted output file contains the whole\
+ set of energy parameters used throughout ViennaRNAPackage 1.8.4. The user can specify sets of\
+ energy parameters that should not be included in the output.\n"
