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.
X format not understood
