Okay bestie, welcome to ANTSTRANSFORMINFO(1) 💖 which lives in the User Commands section 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

antsTransformInfo, part of the ANTS registration suite 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so this page is a whole crime scene 😭 Somebody ran the tool and the transform file it tried to read was literally --help. Instead of helpful info, we got a full HDF5 error dump 💀

Transform file: --help HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.14.5) thread
1:

    #000: ../../../src/H5Fdeprec.c line 164 in H5Fis_hdf5(): unable
    to determine if file is accessible as HDF5

    major: File accessibility minor: Not an HDF5 file

    #001: ../../../src/H5VLcallback.c line 3913 in
    H5VL_file_specific(): file specific failed

    major: Virtual Object Layer minor: Can't operate on object

    #002: ../../../src/H5VLcallback.c line 3848 in
    H5VL__file_specific(): file specific failed

    major: Virtual Object Layer minor: Can't operate on object

    #003: ../../../src/H5VLnative_file.c line 344 in
    H5VL__native_file_specific(): error in HDF5 file check

    major: File accessibility minor: Can't get value

    #004: ../../../src/H5Fint.c line 1055 in H5F__is_hdf5(): unable
    to open file

    major: File accessibility minor: Unable to initialize object

    #005: ../../../src/H5FD.c line 787 in H5FD_open(): can't open
    file

    major: Virtual File Layer minor: Unable to open file

    #006: ../../../src/H5FDsec2.c line 323 in H5FD__sec2_open():
    unable to open file: name = '--help', errno = 2, error message =
    'No such file or directory', flags = 0, o_flags = 0

    major: File accessibility minor: Unable to open file

Then the reader threw its own tantrum with Error while reading the transform file 🙈 ITK jumped in with a whole exception object:

itk::ExceptionObject (0x61f811bf8d50) Location: "void
itk::TransformFileReaderTemplate<TParametersValueType>::Update() [with
TParametersValueType = double]" File:
./Modules/IO/TransformBase/src/itkTransformFileReader.cxx Line: 128
Description: ITK ERROR: TransformFileReaderTemplate(0x61f811bf8960):
Could not create Transform IO object for reading file --help

File does not exists!
       Tried to create one of the following:

ITK tried to make one of these reader objects and couldn't pull it off:

  • HDF5TransformIOTemplate HDF5TransformIOTemplate
  • MatlabTransformIOTemplate MatlabTransformIOTemplate
  • TxtTransformIOTemplate TxtTransformIOTemplate

ITK's hint is that you probably either forgot to set a file suffix, or set one that isn't a supported type 🤔

Final verdict: [FAILED] 💀 but honestly the error messages did all the explaining for us 🫶
