Do you mean samtools stats --coverage? I only see this as a subcommand in the new samtools. This is very helpful thank you!
How do I summarize coverage across many genomes to inform filtering cutoffs?
Hello,
I used samtools depth to get a textfile of coverage across my genome for ~600 samples. In order to inform coverage cutoffs in the next step I'd like to make a summary/histogram of some sort that summarizes coverage for all of these genomes together.
For example, eventually I'd like to say, filter out reads below x coverage and above y coverage. This would be based on the distribution of coverage for all samples to filter out likely duplicates etc.
Any help is appreciated!

Please check this out Filter Bam File Based On Coverage and also take a look int the new samtools named coverage (samtools coverage). Please sure you have the latest samtools.
