mincexpand1

Expands a compressed minc file, if necessary.

Usage

mincexpand [<options>] <infile> [<outfile>]

Overview

Mincexpand expands a compressed, packed, gzipped or zipped minc file into a temporary file using gunzip (or zcat or pcat) and prints out the name of the new file. If the input file is not compressed, then nothing is done and the original file name is printed. A second line is printed, indicating whether the name is that of a new temporary file ("Temporary") or that of the original file ("Original"). If no output file name is given, then the program generates its own.

Options

-header_only

Expand only enough of the file to be able to read the header.

-all_data

Expand the whole file (default).

-name_only

Print out only the file name, not the status (Temporary or Original).

-help

Print summary of command-line options and exit.

-version

Print the program's version number and exit.
