💖 funpack(1) — User Commands 💖

okay bestie, so this is the funpack manual page, and honestly? it's giving "undo button for your FITS images" and i am obsessed. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

funpack — the FITS image decompression program 💅 like, it un-squishes your files.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

funpack [OPTION]... FILE...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so funpack is this lil utility whose whole entire job is to restore a compressed FITS image file back to its original state. that's it. that's the gig. compressed in → original out. main character energy fr fr ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so important vibe check first, bestie: flags must be separate and appear before filenames. don't be out here mashing them together or sticking them after your files, she will NOT know what you mean. also, use - to read from stdin 💖

  • -E HDUlist — unpack only the list of HDU names or numbers in the file. selective queen behavior 👑
  • -P pre — prepend pre to create new output filenames. little prefix moment ✨
  • -O name — specify the full output file name. you're naming the baby, go off 🎀
  • -Z — recompress the output file with the host GZIP program. compress the decompressed, we love a plot twist 🌀
  • -F — overwrite the input file by the output file with the same name. careful bestie, she's replacing things 💀
  • -D — delete the input file after writing output. no takebacks, no notes 🙈
  • -S — output the uncompressed file to the STDOUT file stream. straight to the terminal, no file left behind 🌈
  • -L — list contents, files unchanged. just looking, not touching, respectful icon 👀
  • -C — don't update FITS checksum keywords. leaving the checksums exactly as they were 🧚
  • -v — verbose mode; lists each file as it is processed. she's narrating her own life, and honestly? same 💬
  • -H — show this message. hi hello, here's the help 🌸
  • -V — show the version number. identity reveal ⭐
