β¨ fits2table β the glow-up your FITS file deserves β¨
okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighborhood Unix docs, and it's about a lil cutie called fits2table. She's small, she's mighty, she does exactly one thing and she does it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
fits2table β convert a FITS file into an casacore table
like. that's the whole job. that's her whole personality and honestly? respect. π
π SYNOPSIS π
fits2table input output [ ... ]
so you hand her an input, you tell her where to drop the output, and then there's a [ ... ] just vibing at the end because the universe contains multitudes (and also more args, iykyk π¦).
π«Ά DESCRIPTION π«Ά
fits2table is a small tool that comes with the casacore source. no cap, she's tiny.
What does she do tho? She converts a FITS file into an casacore table. That's it. That's the arc. Input goes in, table comes out, main character energy from start to finish β¨
If you were expecting forty flags and a config file and a whole emotional journey β nope π₯². She's a one-trick pony and the trick is slaying.
πΌ tiny note for the girlies: the description fr fr says "an casacore table" and I am NOT fixing it. the grammar is iconic, the grammar stays. periodt.
