fitstab - convert fits table to ascii table
fitstab in=fits_table
[parameter=value]
fitstab reads a fits table file from disk
and converts it to an ascii table. The input file must be in fits(5NEMO)
format, the output will be on stdout. Tables can be selected by their
HDU number; HDU’s which do not have the ascii table extension (TABLE) are
automatically skipped.
See notes in ccdfits(1NEMO)
how to process fits files
from tape instead disk.
The following parameters are recognized
in any order if the keyword is also given:
- in=fits-file
- input file, must
be fits(5)
format.
[no default].
- hdu=number
- HDU number to be processed. The first one counts
as 1. A 0 will convert all. HDU’s which do not have the table extension
(XTENSION=’TABLE ’) are automatically skipped.
[Default: 0].
- select=
- Comma separated list of selections which determines
the parts of the table that is output. Valid options are data, header and
row: data will list the table data itself, with an added row number if
the option row is also supplied, and header lists the column names and
their attributes from the FITS header. The parameters from a random group
HDU can also be printed using group.
[Default: data].
- col=column_names
- Column (or random group parameter) names
selected for output. Default is all columns, in the original format (no
extra blanks). If columns are selected by their name (FITS keyword TTYPEn),
the output will contains an extra blank inbetween columns, UNLESS that
column was followed by a + sign, for example col=DecSign+DecD will not
put an extra space between DecSign and DecD. *** this last item not implemented
yet ***
[Default: all].
- fnl=
- Frequency of newlines in the output, meaning every
fnl numbers that are written, a newline will be added to the output. Use
0 if no extra newlines are needed.
[Default: 0]
Columns are output in the order that they appear in the
table, not as specified with the col= keyword.
no magic blanking substitution,
no scaling TSCALnnn, TZEROnnn ?
column names are treated case sensitive.
