✨ GIFTI_TEST(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gifti_test manual page, straight out of User Commands land 💅 this is the little tool that lets you test reading and writing a GIFTI dataset, and honestly? she's lowkey iconic for it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gifti_test — test reading/writing a GIFTI dataset 🧚

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gifti_test [...]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. the [...] is doing main character energy and letting the options below do all the talking ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -help — shows you the usage help. your girl is here to explain herself 🫶
• -gifti_hist — show the giftilib history. lore dump, basically 📜
• -gifti_ver — show the giftilib version. gotta know which era we're in 👑
• -encoding TYPE — set the data encoding for any output file. here's the menu:
  • TYPE = ASCII : ASCII encoding
  • TYPE = BASE64 : base64 binary
  • TYPE = BASE64GZIP : base64 compressed binary

pick your fighter 🎀

• -gfile OUTPUT — write out the dataset as a gifti image. OUTPUT is where it goes 💾
• -infile INPUT — specify INPUT as the GIFTI dataset to read. this is the "hey, look at this file" flag 🌈
• -no_data — do not write out data. structure only, no substance, very demure 🙈

• -slist LEN s0... — restrict output to a list of length LEN. you hand it LEN and then the indices, s0 and friends ✂️
• -verb VERB — set verbose level. crank it up when you wanna hear everything she has to say 🔥

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

1. read in a GIFTI dataset (verbose, show output?)

gifti_test -infile dset.gii

gifti_test -infile dset.gii -verb 3

gifti_test -infile dset.gii -show

2. copy a GIFTI dataset (check differences?)

gifti_test -infile dset.gii -gfile copy.gii

diff dset.gii copy.gii

3. copy a GIFTI data, but write out only 3 surf indices: 0,4,5

gifti_test -infile time_series.gii -gfile ts3.gii -slist 3 0 4 5
