.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBidngram_merge\fR merge multiple idngram file, each of them are sorted
[id1,...,idN,freq] array, into one idngram file. For those id1..idN which 
appear in more than one files, only one item will appear in the final file, 
and its freq are summed. The idngram files are original generated by 
\&\fBids2ngram\fR.
