Syntax:

-clip sigclip iter

Example 1.
$ ./vartools -oneline -i EXAMPLES/5 \
    -rms \
    -clip 3. 1 \
    -rms \
    -o EXAMPLES/OUTDIR1/5.clip.txt

Name           = EXAMPLES/5
Mean_Mag_0     =  10.43962
RMS_0          =   0.00288
Expected_RMS_0 =   0.00114
Npoints_0      =  3903
Nclip_1        =    51
Mean_Mag_2     =  10.43961
RMS_2          =   0.00267
Expected_RMS_2 =   0.00114
Npoints_2      =  3852

Calculate the RMS of the light curve EXAMPLES/5, apply iterative 3 sigma clipping, calculate the RMS of the clipped light curve, and output the clipped light curve to EXAMPLES/OUTDIR1/5.clip.txt.
