Description
Hi - thanks for this amazing tool. I am interested to know the exact meanings of the values that are returned in the sequence headers in the a3m files, and wondered whether this was documented anywhere? e.g. >UPI001E1DB192 365 0.724 4.351E-111 0 233 234 1 301 330.

Document the meaning of each value and its ordering, with enough context to interpret the example; done means readers can understand every field without consulting undocumented code.
