But the thing you're looking at right here? This is the maintenance tool — its whole job is to recover a DICOM file that was compressed by Orthanc. That's it. That's the mission. 🧚

  • If you don't hand it an output, the data goes straight to stdout. no output file, no problem, it just vibes onto your terminal. 💻✨

And if you want the full instructions on how to actually use Orthanc, the man page says to go check the Orthanc homepage: http://www.orthanc-server.com/ 👑
