Get chromosome names of a bigwig file

I would like to extract the chromosome names from a bigwig (.bw) file. Is there an existing tool/command?

(I need to verify they match the genome annotation file I am working with + diagnose failing multiBigwigSummary)

bigwigInfo --chroms from UCSC Kent Utils (http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/admin/exe/linux.x86_64/) looks like a good option to do this.
