Dear all,

I am working on vcf data with *bcftools*. It is a big data set and I would like to see the list of samples are including in this vcf file, what&#39;s the easy way with bcftools or vcftools?

Thanks and with best regards

Xinhui

I got it:

    bcftools query -l input.vcf


From [manuals - query][1]:
> `-l`, `--list-samples`: list sample names and exit
