samtools-cat - concatenate files together
samtools cat [-b list] [-h header.sam] [-o out.bam] in1.bam in2.bam [ ... ]
Concatenate BAMs or CRAMs. Although this works on either BAM or CRAM, all input files must be the same format as each other. The sequence dictionary of each input file must be identical, although this command does not check this. This command uses a similar trick to reheader which enables fast BAM concatenation.
