NAME
mincinfo - print out specified information about a minc file
SYNOPSIS
mincinfo [<options>] <file>
DESCRIPTION
Mincinfo will print out either a general description of a minc file (type, sign and range of data, plus a brief description of dimensions and their order), or specific information about dimensions, variables or attributes in the file. This program can be very useful for building shell scripts that access minc files.
OPTIONS
Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they are unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line. Dimensions, variables and attributes are all specified by name. Attributes are specified by <variable>:<attribute> where <variable> can be omitted to specify global attributes.
- -image_info: Print out the default general information
- about the file. This information includes the type, sign and range of the pixel data, the order of the dimensions, and a list of dimensions giving name, length, start and step for each one.
- -dimnames: Print out a space-separated list of the dimen
- sions in the file.
- -varnames: Print out a space-separated list of the vari
- ables in the file.
- -dimlength <dimension> : Print the length of the specified
- dimension.
- -vartype <variable> : Print the type of the variable.
- -vardims <variable> : Print a space-separated list of the
- dimensions that subscript the variable (in C order).
- -varatts <variable> : Print a space-separated list of the
- attribute names for the specified variable.
- -varvalues <variable> : Print a newline-separated list of
- the values of the specified variable.
- -atttype <variable>:<attribute> : Print out the type of
- the specified attribute.
- -attvalue <variable>:<attribute> : Print out a space
- separated list of the values of the specified attribute.
- -error_string <string> : Specifies a string to print out
- if an error occurs. This will cause the program to exit with normal status. The default is to print an appropriate error message and exit with an error status.
- -help: Print summary of command-line options and abort.
