NAME

       asdftool - Manipulate Advanced Scientific Data Format (ASDF) files

SYNOPSIS

       asdftool [-h] [--verbose] {help,explode,implode,defragment,to_yaml} ...

DESCRIPTION

       ASDF  (Advanced  Scientific  Data Format) is a proposed next generation interchange format for scientific
       data. ASDF aims to exist in the same middle ground that made FITS so successful, by being a  hybrid  text
       and  binary  format: containing human editable metadata for interchange, and raw binary data that is fast
       to load and  use.  Unlike  FITS,  the  metadata  is  highly  structured  and  is  designed  up-front  for
       extensibility.
