✨ NAME ✨

dcm_dump_file — Dump the contents of a DICOM File 🩻💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dcm_dump_file [-b] [-g] [-l] [-m mult] [-t] [-v] [-w flag] [-z] file
[file ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, dcm_dump_file dumps the contents of a DICOM V3 file to standard output, in human readable form. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "let me read your medical imaging file out loud to you" 👑✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

dcm_dump_file accepts the following options:

  • -b — input files are stored in big-endian byte order 🔄
  • -e — Exit on file open error. Do not process other files 🚪💀 like, if a file won't open, we're done here, no continuing down the list
  • -g — remove group length elements ✂️
  • -m mult — change VM limit from 0 to mult 🔢
  • -v — place DCM facility in verbose mode 🗣️✨
  • -t — Part 10 file 📄
  • -w — set open options; flag can be REPEAT 🔁
  • -z — perform format conversion (verification) on data in files ✅
  • file — one or more information objects to be dumped 📦📦📦
not me noticing -l shows up in the synopsis but gets no lil description in the options list… iykyk, i'm just the messenger bestie 🙈

that's the whole page, fr fr. this was dcm_dump_file(1) from the General Commands Manual, and the footer just says dcm_dump_file(1) again — no date, no version, nothing extra, so that's all we got. slay, go dump some files 💖🌈🫶
