SPEC2NII-RDA(1)

💅 spec2nii-rda(1) — the rda glow-up

okay bestie, so this is spec2nii rda — the part of the spec2nii universe that takes your Siemens spectroscopy .rda files and turns them into something the rest of your pipeline can actually vibe with. it's a User Commands page, it lives in section 1, and honestly? it ate. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

spec2nii rda [-h] [-j] [-f FILEOUT] [-o OUTDIR] [--nifti1]
[--override_nucleus OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS [OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS ...]]
[--override_frequency OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY [OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY ...]]
[--override_dwelltime OVERRIDE_DWELLTIME] [--anon] [--verbose] file

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

💖 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

• file — the file you're converting, bestie. that's the one. the main character. 🫶

⭐ OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

• -h, --help — shows you a help message and then exits, like a friend who answers your question and immediately dips. 💀
• -j, --json — makes a json sidecar. yes queen, extra metadata file, we love her. ✨
• -f FILEOUT, --fileout FILEOUT — sets the output file base name. default is the input file name, so if you don't say anything it just copies the vibe of the input. 🦋
• -o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR — where the output goes. default is . — as in, right here, right now, in your current directory. 🎀
• --nifti1 — okay so the manpage literally gives no description for this one. no blurb, no nothing. it's giving mystery. 🙈 all we know is the flag exists, so here it is, faithfully reported, no notes added.
• --override_nucleus OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS [OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS ...] — overrides the ResonantNucleus field with whatever input(s) you hand it. e.g. '2H'. you can pass more than one, it's flexible like that. 💜
• --override_frequency OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY [OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY ...] — overrides the SpectrometerFrequency field with your input(s). heads up: the input is in MHz. 📏✨
• --override_dwelltime OVERRIDE_DWELLTIME — overrides the dwell time field with your input. and that input is in seconds, no cap. ⏱️
• --anon — creates the file without sensitive metadata. that's the whole point. if you want more control over the anonymisation situation, go use spec2nii-anon(1) instead — this one is the quick version. 🔒
• --verbose — no description given here either, bestie, but the name is right there and it's telling you everything it needs to. 👀
