# gpiv\_piv2hdf(1)

Converts PIV-data HDF5 format.

## NAME

gpiv\_piv2hdf - Converts PIV-data HDF5 format.

## SYNOPSIS

**gpiv\_piv2hdf**  \[**-e**\] \[**-h** \| **--help**\]  \[**-p** \| **--print**\]  \[**-v** \| **--version**\]  \[**-V** \| **--verbose**\]  *filename*

## DESCRIPTION

**gpiv\_piv2hdf** *converts ASCII-formattd PIV-data* *(filename***.piv**), derived data, like vorticities (*filename***.vor**), strain (*filename***.sstr**, *filename***.nstr**) and, eventually, raw data images (*filename***.r**), to a HDF5 formatted file *filename***.hdf**. The parameters that have been used for the analysis and post processing are included in *filename***.hdf**.

This program does not use the parameter resources from libgpiv. The parameters may be defined by the command line options as explained below.

## Options

- **-e**

  Exclude PIV data and data from post-processes.

- **-h** \| **--help**

  On-line help.

- **-i**

  Includes image data.

- **-p** \| **--print**

  Prints parameters, command line options and input and output filenames to stdout. The output may be used as parameters of **fasty** for future use by re-directing stdout to *fasty.par*.

- **-v** \| **--version**

  Print version information on standard output, then exits successfully.

- **-V** \| **--verbose**

  Program behaves more verbose by printing messages to stdout.

- *filename*

  Input PIV data filename, including .piv extension.
