💖 dcm_ctnto10(1) — the glow-up page 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the General Commands Manual section of your terminal's little library, and it's about one very specific, very iconic job: dragging a CTN DICOM file into Part 10 format. that's it. that's the whole personality. and honestly? we respect a command that knows exactly what it is. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dcm_ctnto10 — converts a CTN DICOM file to Part 10 conforming format. no cap, that's literally the whole mission statement. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dcm_ctnto10 [-bBL] [-v] filein fileout

see how the brackets are doing the most? -b, -B and -L are all hanging out together in one little bundle, -v is off doing its own thing, and then you gotta hand over two files at the end. two. not one. not three. two. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: dcm_ctnto10 converts a DICOM file to Part 10 format. that's the vibe. it takes your file, it does its thing, it gives you Part 10. main character energy from start to finish. ✨

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

dcm_ctnto10 accepts the following options, and yes we're going through every single one because nobody gets left behind in this group chat:

  • -b — big endian output. and before you get comfy: this one is non standard, so it's giving "I know a shortcut" energy. proceed accordingly. 😭
  • -B — big endian explicit transfer syntax. capitals matter, bestie, -b and -B are NOT the same girl. 💀
  • -L — little endian explicit transfer syntax. the lowercase/uppercase situation here is a whole vibe check, so read twice, type once. 👑
  • filein fileout — the input and output files. your before and your after. your caterpillar and your butterfly. 🦋
lowkey important: -v shows up in the synopsis like it owns the place, but the options list doesn't describe it. we are not inventing lore for it. it's in the synopsis, that's what the page says, and that's what we're saying. 🙈

⭐ the sign-off ⭐

that's the whole page, gorgeous. it's short, it's sweet, it does exactly one thing and it does it without drama — and it signs off as dcm_ctnto10(1) from the General Commands Manual. go convert something. slay. 💖🌸✨
