NAME
       dcmftest - Test if file uses DICOM part 10 format


SYNOPSIS
       dcmftest file...


DESCRIPTION
       The  dcmftest  utility  checks whether the files specified on the command line are DICOM files in part 10
       format (with meta-header).


PARAMETERS
       dcmfile-in  DICOM input filename to be dumped


NOTES
       All files specified on the command line are checked for the presence of the DICOM 'magic word' 'DICM'  at
       byte  position  128.  No attempt is made to parse the complete data set. For each file the test result is
       printed to stdout in the form 'yes: <filename>\n' or 'no: <filename>\n'. The utility  terminates  with  a
       return  code  corresponding to the number of files found to be non-DICOM, i.e. if all files pass as DICOM
       files, the return value is 0. This behavior is intended for use in shell script programming.
