userfields field names

The userout option specifies a tabbed text output file with field names specified by the -userfields option.

For example, the following will give the same output as -blast6out hits.txt

 usearch -ublast reads.fastq -db proteins.fa -evalue 0.01 -userout hits.txt
   -userfields query+target+id+alnlen+mism+opens+qlo+qhi+tlo+thi+evalue+bits
