man2html: unable to open or read file ../dicom3tools/optin.so

DESCRIPTION

dcdump

reads the named dicom or acr-nema input file and describes the information contained, attempting to interpret the structure of the message, including nested sequences (cf. andump).

The group and element number, dictionary and explicit value representation, description of tag, value length and value of the element are displayed, optionally with an offset byte count from the start of the file.

OPTIONS

The attribute values, description and verbose output go to standard error.

Binary attributes are written in hexadecimal with a preceding "0x". Numeric string attributes are written in decimal. Attribute values are displayed in hexadecimal or string format as determined by the value representation.

The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:

-verbose

Display byte offset from file start and message start, in hexadecimal, and dump contents while reading and once read.

-filename

Show the name of the file supplied in the arguments; a hyphen will be reported if no filename was supplied.
