NAME
img2cif - filter to convert detector images to CBF format
SYNOPSIS
img2cif
[options] files...
DESCRIPTION
img2cif
is a program that converts an image file from a MAR180, MAR300, MAR345 or ADSC CCD
detector to CBF format. In addition,
img2cif
includes code to process files from stdin and to stdout, so the program can
be used in a pipe.
OPTIONS
-i input_image
(default: stdin) the input_image file in MAR300, MAR345 or ADSC CCD
detector format is given. If no input_image file is specified or is given
as "-", an image is copied from stdin to a temporary file.
-o output_cif
(default: stdout) the output cif (if base64 or quoted-printable encoding is
used) or cbf (if no encoding is used). if no output_cif is specified or is
given as "-", the output is written to stdout
-c compression_scheme
(packed, canonical or none, default packed)
-m [no]headers
(default headers for cifs, noheaders for cbfs) selects MIME (N. Freed,
N. Borenstein, RFC 2045, November 1996) headers within binary data value
text fields.
-d [no]digest
(default md5 digest [R. Rivest, RFC 1321, April
1992 using"RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest
Algorithm"] when MIME headers are selected)
-e encoding
(base64, quoted-printable, decimal, hexadecimal, octal or none, default:
base64) specifies one of the standard MIME encodings (base64 or
quoted-printable) or a non-standard decimal, hexamdecimal or octal encoding
for an ascii cif or "none" for a binary cbf
-b direction
(forward or backwards, default: natural direction) specifies the direction
of mapping of bytes into words for decimal, hexadecimal or octal output,
marked by '>' for forward or '<' for backwards as the second character of
each line of output, and in '#' comment lines.
