✨ NAME ✨

okay so you're in the FITSGETEXT(1) manual, and the main character is fitsgetext 💖. Her whole thing: Pull out individual header or data blocks from multi-HDU FITS files. That's the job. Slay. No cap.

🛠️ OPTIONS 🛠️

  • -o file — sets the Output file. Your output goes there, bestie. 🎀
  • -a — Write out ALL extensions. The output filename should be a sprintf(1) pattern such as "extension-%04i". So yeah, every extension, and your filename has to be that sprintf(1) pattern, like "extension-%04i". ✨
  • -b — Print sizes and offsets in FITS blocks (of 2880 bytes). Block by block, literally. 🧚
  • -M — Print sizes in megabytes (using floor(), not round()!). Not round(), okay? floor(). She's dramatic but correct. 💀
  • -D — Data blocks only. Just data blocks. Periodt. 💅
  • -H — Header blocks only. Just header blocks. Periodt. 💅
  • -e extension — Extension number. Pick your extension, she gotchu. 🦋
  • -v — +verbose. The +verbose energy. Iykyk. 👑
