💖 DCM-DUMP — the girlies are reading DICOM metadata 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to dcm-dump, a lil user command from the libdicom fam (it lives in section 1 of the manual, iykyk). she reads a DICOM PS3.10 file and just… tells you everything it's hiding. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

dcm-dump — print metadata content of DICOM PS3.10 file to standard output 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dcm-dump [-v] file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Print metadata content of DICOM PS3.10 file to standard output.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she opens the file, she dumps the metadata, she sends it straight to standard output like the main character she is. no editing, no filtering, no drama. 🎀

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -h — Display help message (usage summary) and exit. 🫶 perfect for when you're lost and need a lil map.
  • -V — Display version and exit. 👑 so you know exactly which queen you're dealing with.
  • -v — Increase logging verbosity to INFO. 🗣️ she gets chatty. she starts telling you what she's doing. obsessed.

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

dcm-dump returns:

  • 0 on success ✨ (we ate)
  • 1 if a file could not be read 😭 (the file said no)
  • 2 if the arguments are invalid 💀 (user error, we don't talk about it)
