✨ SUBTABLE — okay bestie, let's talk ✨

so like. imagine a FITS binary table with SO many columns it's giving ✨overstimulated✨. subtable is the bestie who walks in, grabs exactly the columns you asked for, and dips. it pulls out a set of columns from a many-column FITS binary table. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

this is part of the astrometry.net situation, and the manual page here is for version 0.56 from back in July 2015 (yes she's vintage, she's still iconic, don't come for her 💅).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

subtable -i input-file -o output-file -c col-name [-c col-name ...]

one input, one output, and as many -c flags as your little heart desires. stack 'em up, girl. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -i file — the input file. your source material. the main character you're sampling from. 🔥
  • -o file — the output file. where the chosen columns get to live their new life. ✨
  • -c name — a column name. and listen, you can repeat this one as many times as you want, once per column you're pulling. one -c per column, no cap. repeat it, stack it, collect them like stickers. 🦋

👑 AUTHOR 👑

the Astrometry.net team, obviously. principal investigators are David W. Hogg (NYU) and Dustin Lang (CMU). legends. icons. the moment. 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

ngl bestie, if you skip a -c the column just won't be there, and no one can help you. specify every column you want, fr fr. 🙈

and that's the whole page, babe 🌸 this was astrometry.net's subtable, version 0.56, dated July 2015 — go pull some columns, you're gonna ate. 💅✨🎀
