πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

dcm_verify accepts the following options, and yes bestie we're listing every single one, we don't skip:

  • -b β€” input files are stored in big-endian byte order. so if your bytes are living their big-endian era, this is the flag that tells the tool to expect that. 🌈
  • -t β€” read the file with Part 10 format. Part 10 format specifically. not Part 9, not Part 11. Part 10. periodt. πŸ“‹
  • -v β€” place the DCM facility in verbose mode. it gets chatty. it tells you the tea. πŸ—£οΈβœ¨
  • file β€” the name of the file to be verified. that's your one required argument, bestie, don't forget it or the whole thing just... doesn't happen. πŸ™ˆ

heads up: file is not optional, okay? it's the whole point. the tool needs a file to verify. give it a file. πŸŽ€
