NAME

translatehdr - Translate the FITS header from the supplied file

SYNOPSIS

  translatehdr mytest.sdf

DESCRIPTION

This command reads a FITS header from the supplied file (either a FITS file or NDF) and writes the translated header information to standard out.

ARGUMENTS

--help

Simple usage information.

--man

The manual page.

--version

Version number for this command.

--test-to-fits

Also output the results of converting the translated header information back to instrument-specific FITS headers. This option is primarily intended for use in testing the operation of the FITS header translation software.

NOTES

Currently an input file containing multiple subheaders is not handled properly and the headers will not merged. This is true, for example, with UKIRT .HEADER + .I1, .I2 data.
