SYNOPSIS

nxconvert [-x|-h4|-h5|-d|-o keepws|-o table] [infile [outfile]]

DESCRIPTION

NeXus supports different file formats for physical storage on disk or other media. nxconvert allows the user to convert a file to a different backend.

If no output file is supplied on the command line, the program asks for one interactively. Same if the input file is not given.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

-x

make outfile XML

-h4

make outfile HDF4 (this is the default)

-h5

make outfile HDF5

-d

make a XML based definition file used for validating NeXus files (i.e. remove the data).

-o keepws

the XML file created should preserve whitespace.

-o table

the XML file created should write the data in a table format where the columns and rows are easily imported into spreadsheet programs.
