BIOSIG2GDF(1)

💖 BIOSIG2GDF(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the biosig2gdf page from the General Commands Manual section 1, and it's genuinely iconic for one specific reason: it turns a whole bunch of different biomedical signal file formats into a simplified version of GDF, and it can stream that result straight to stdout. no cap. 🫶

why do you care? because then you can read that data through an unnamed pipe into whatever programming environment you vibe with, and use a nice simplified parser to decode it. lowkey the best part. ✨

the conversion does a conversion to GDFv3 format, where all channels have the same data type and the same sampling rate. that's the whole deal — everybody matching, everybody cute. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

biosig2gdf [OPTIONS]  SOURCE  [DEST]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

• SOURCE is the source file 🌷
• DEST is the destination file 🎀

supported OPTIONS are, and yes we're going through every single one:

• -v, --version — prints version information, the classic little "hi what am I" move 💜
• -h, --help — prints this information, aka the page you're literally reading rn 😭
• -z — compress data using gzip 🗜️
• -z=# — compress data with level #
  • #=0 no compression; #=9 best compression 🔥

fr fr, #=0 is literally "no compression" and #=9 is "best compression" — those are the ends of the range, so pick your vibe accordingly.
