          If it is installed on your computer, typing bcftools at the commandline prompt should give you something like this:

          Code:
          $ bcftools 
          
          Program: bcftools (Tools for data in the VCF/BCF formats)
          Version: 0.1.17-dev (r973:277)
          
          Usage:   bcftools <command> <arguments>
          
          Command: view      print, extract, convert and call SNPs from BCF
                   index     index BCF
                   cat       concatenate BCFs
                   ld        compute all-pair r^2
                   ldpair    compute r^2 between requested pairs
          Otherwise, have a look in the samtools directory, there should be a subdirectory called bcftools.
