MUSE_ILLUM(7)

💅 MUSE_ILLUM(7) — the muse recipes, bestie edition

okay so like, welcome to MUSE_ILLUM(7), one of the muse recipe pages ✨ it lives in section 7 of the manual, it's part of the muse recipes collection, and honestly? it's a short one but it's got lore.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

muse_illum — a dummy recipe that converts a raw illumination flat field into a DFS product. that's it, that's the whole job. no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

esorex muse_illum [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea. this recipe takes the data of an illumination flat-field and copies it over to the output file completely unmodified. not a single pixel gets touched. the data is the data, periodt 💅

but — and this is the main character moment — it alters the header data so that the result becomes a DFS compliant product file. that's the whole glow-up. once it's DFS compliant, it can be used in the on-line pipeline environment to correct the illumination of twilight and/or science observations. iconic behavior honestly 🌈

⚠️ lowkey important: this recipe has no use in any environment other than the on-line pipeline environment. fr fr. don't come for it anywhere else, it's not built for that 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay so about options, bestie — note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command for all of that 💖
