EPILOG="""Examples:
- rootslimtree source.root:tree dest.root
  Copy the tree 'tree' from 'source.root' to 'dest.root'.
 
- rootslimtree --recreate source.root:tree dest.root
  Recreate the destination file 'dest.root' and copy the tree 'tree' from 'source.root' to 'dest.root'.
 
- rootslimtree -c 1 source.root:tree dest.root
  Change the compression factor of the destination file 'dest.root' and  copy the tree 'tree' from 'source.root' to 'dest.root'. For more information about compression settings of ROOT file, please look at the reference guide available on the ROOT site.
 
- rootslimtree -e "muon_*" source.root:tree dest.root
  Copy the tree 'tree' from 'source.root' to 'dest.root' and remove branches matching "muon_*"
 
- rootslimtree -e "*" -i "muon_*" source.root:tree dest.root
  Copy the tree 'tree' from 'source.root' to 'dest.root' and only write branches matching "muon_*"
