GETTAB(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the GETTAB(1) page from the User Commands manual. it's literally just gettab - AME. that's the whole name, no cap. ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so gettab prints FITS or IRAF header keyword values. like, it's giving data extraction realness. 🦋

here's how you run it, bestie:

gettab [-ahoptv][-n num]
       file1.tab ... filen.tab kw1 kw2 ... kwn

              gettab [-ahoptv][-n num] @filelist kw1 kw2 ... kwn gettab
              [-ahoptv][-n num] <file1.tab kw1 kw2 ... kwn

and here are the flags, periodt. each one is a little vibe:

• -a — List file even if keywords are not found. so even if it can't find your keywords, it still lists the file. iconic. 💅
• -e — Print keyword=value list. gives you that equality moment. ✨
• -h — Print column headings. so you know what's what. 💖
• -n num — Number of decimal places in numeric output. you tell it how many decimals you want with num. iykyk. 🔥
• -o — OR conditions instead of ANDing them. switches the logic to OR instead of ANDing the conditions together. 🌈
• -p — Print full pathnames of files. no short names here, bestie. full path realness. 💜
• -t — Output in tab-separated table format. for when you want that TSV table vibe. 🌸
• -v — Verbose. gives you all the tea. ☕
