Going back to a HP-UX box, it says:
So it seems like you're out of luck with that particular method. Have you considered using awk or perl or is there lots of other shell code already written that depends on this part?

vcf-isec - create intersections, unions, complements on bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF or tab-delimited files
SYNOPSIS
vcf-isec [OPTIONS] file1.vcf file2.vcf ...
DESCRIPTION
About: Create intersections, unions, complements on bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF or tab-delimited files.
Note that lines from all files can be intermixed together on the output, which can yield unexpected results.
OPTIONS -C, --chromosomes <list|file>
Process the given chromosomes (comma-separated list or one chromosome per line in a file).
-c, --complement
Output positions present in the first file but missing from the other files.
-d, --debug
Debugging information
-f, --force
Continue even if the script complains about differing columns.
-o, --one-file-only
Print only entries from the left-most file. Without -o, all unique positions will be printed.
-n, --nfiles [+-=]<int>
Output positions present in this many (=), this many or more (+), or this many or fewer (-) files.
-p, --prefix <path>
If present, multiple files will be created with all possible isec combinations. (Suitable for Venn Diagram analysis.)
-t, --tab <chr:pos:file>
Tab-delimited file with indexes of chromosome and position columns. (1-based indexes)
-w, --win <int>
In repetitive sequences, the same indel can be called at different positions. Consider records this far apart as matching (be it a
SNP or an indel).
-h, -?, --help
This help message.
