NIB-CONVERT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

nib-convert — it's the manual page for nib-convert 5.4.2, bestie 💖 like literally the whole page, that's the name.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so basically?? this is your little glow-up machine for neuroimaging files 🧠✨ you feed it a volume, you tell it what you want it to become, and it hands you back a shiny new file. it's giving makeover montage.

here's the usage line, copy it exactly, no typos queen:

nib-convert [-h] [--out-dtype OUT_DTYPE] [--image-type IMAGE_TYPE] [-f]
            [-V] infile outfile

heads up — the usage is literally wrapped across two lines there, that's not me being extra, that's just how it is.

Convert neuroimaging file to new parameters 💅

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

• infile — the Neuroimaging volume you wanna convert. your source material, your raw ingredient, your before pic 💖
• outfile — Name of output file. this is the name of the output file. the after pic ✨

🌸 options 🌸

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. your girl is lost?? ask for help, it's free 🫶
• --out-dtype OUT_DTYPE — On-disk data type; valid argument to numpy.dtype(). so like, whatever numpy will accept as a dtype, that's what goes here 💅
• --image-type IMAGE_TYPE — Name of NiBabel image class to create, e.g. Nifti1Image. If specified, will be used prior to setting dtype. If unspecified, a new image like infile will be created and converted to a type matching the extension of outfile. no cap, read that twice — the order matters: image type first, then dtype 🧚
• -f, --force — Overwrite output file if it exists, and ignore warnings if possible. she's bold, she's fearless, she does not care 💀
• -V, --version — show program's version number and exit. quick vibe check on what version you're running 👑

and that's the whole thing bestie, every flag accounted for, nothing skipped, we ate 🍓
