SPEC2NII-TEXT(1)

💖 SPEC2NII-TEXT(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the spec2nii text page — it's the one that turns plain text data into something your neuroimaging pipeline can actually eat. It's spec2nii-text(1), and yes, it's a User Command, and yes, it ate. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

spec2nii text — convert from plain text data format. that's it, that's the job, and it does it flawlessly. 💅

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

spec2nii text [-h] -i IMAGINGFREQ -b BANDWIDTH -n NUCLEUS [-a FILE] [-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

look at that line wrap. so organized. main character energy fr fr. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

🌸 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS 🌸

• file — the file you're converting. the whole reason we're here. give it to me. 🙈

🦋 OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS 🦋

• -h, --help — shows a help message and exits. the "hey bestie explain urself" button. no cap.
• -i IMAGINGFREQ, --imagingfreq IMAGINGFREQ — Optional. Imaging (central) frequency, in MHz. (the page calls this optional, even though the synopsis up top lists it without brackets — iykyk, just pass it.)
• -b BANDWIDTH, --bandwidth BANDWIDTH — Optional. Receiver bandwidth (sweepwidth), in Hz.
• -n NUCLEUS, --nucleus NUCLEUS — the nucleus string. like 1H or 31P. tell it what atoms we're vibing with. ⭐
• -a FILE, --affine FILE — NIfTI affine file.
• -j, --json — Create json sidecar. the little metadata bestie that rides along. ✨
• -f FILEOUT, --fileout FILEOUT — Output file base name (default = input file name).
• -o OUTDIR, --outdir OUTDIR — Output location (default = .).
• --nifti1 — no description on this one in the original, she's mysterious like that. 💀
• --override_nucleus OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS [OVERRIDE_NUCLEUS ...] — Override the ResonantNucleus field with your input(s). E.g. '2H'.
• --override_frequency OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY [OVERRIDE_FREQUENCY ...] — Override the SpectrometerFrequency field with your input(s). Input in MHz.
• --override_dwelltime OVERRIDE_DWELLTIME — Override the dwell time field with your input. Input in seconds.
• --anon — Create file without sensitive metadata. For greater control use spec2nii-anon(1). 🔥
• --verbose — no description given, she simply talks more. respect.

not me noticing --override_nucleus and --override_frequency both take one or more values, while --override_dwelltime takes exactly one. read the brackets, bestie. 🧚
