NAME
mincinfo - print out specified information about a minc file
SYNOPSIS
mincinfo [<options>] <file> [<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.
All information given by mincinfo is presented as read from the file
with no transformation. This means that start and step values, for
example, are not in the world coordinate system. To display the start
values for a file in world coordinates, use voxeltoworld.
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 spec‐
ify global attributes. More than one option can be specified, in which
case the return value from each option is printed on a separate line
(-image_info prints on many lines) in the order of the options on the
command line.
-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 dimensions in the file.
-varnames
Print out a space-separated list of the variables 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 sta‐
tus.
-help Print summary of command-line options and abort.
-version
Print the program's version number and exit.
EXAMPLES
Print out standard information about a minc file.
mincinfo file.mnc
Print out contents of global history attribute.
mincinfo file.mnc -attvalue :history
Print out step value for x dimension, setting the default value to 1.
mincinfo file.mnc -attvalue xspace:step -error 1
Print out the step values for x, y and z, setting the default value to
1.
mincinfo file.mnc -error 1 \
-attvalue xspace:step \
-attvalue yspace:step \
-attvalue zspace:step
Print out the names of the dimensions subscripting the image variable.
mincinfo file.mnc -vardims image
