# mincheader(1)

prints out header information for a minc file

## NAME

mincheader - prints out header information for a minc file

## SYNOPSIS

**mincheader** \[-data\] \<infile\>

## DESCRIPTION

*Mincheader* prints out the header information for a minc file in cdl format (the netCDF text format). *Mincheader* simply calls *mincdump*, writing  out all information except the image data. If the input file is compressed, then its header is decompressed and only the header is printed. If the **-data** option is given, then the whole file is decompressed and all data (except the image) is dumped.
