NAME

       img2cif - filter to convert detector images to CBF format

SYNOPSIS

       img2cif [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       img2cif  is  a  program that converts an image file from a MAR180, MAR300, MAR345 or ADSC CCD detector to
       CBF format. In addition, img2cif includes code to process files from stdin and to stdout, so the  program
       can be used in a pipe.

OPTIONS

       -i input_image
              (default:  stdin) the input_image file in MAR300, MAR345 or ADSC CCD detector format is given.  If
              no input_image file is specified or is given as "-", an image is copied from stdin to a  temporary
              file.

       -o output_cif
              (default:  stdout)  the  output cif (if base64 or quoted-printable encoding is used) or cbf (if no
              encoding is used).  if no output_cif is specified or is given as "-", the  output  is  written  to
              stdout

       -c compression_scheme
              (packed, canonical or none, default packed)

       -m [no]headers
              (default  headers  for  cifs, noheaders for cbfs) selects MIME (N. Freed, N. Borenstein, RFC 2045,
              November 1996) headers within binary data value text fields.

       -d [no]digest
              (default md5 digest [R. Rivest, RFC 1321, April 1992 using"RSA Data Security,  Inc.  MD5  Message-
              Digest Algorithm"] when MIME headers are selected)

       -e encoding
              (base64,  quoted-printable, decimal, hexadecimal, octal or none, default: base64) specifies one of
              the standard MIME encodings (base64 or quoted-printable) or a non-standard  decimal,  hexamdecimal
              or octal encoding for an ascii cif or "none" for a binary cbf

       -b direction
              (forward  or  backwards,  default:  natural direction) specifies the direction of mapping of bytes
              into words for decimal, hexadecimal or octal  output,  marked  by  '>'  for  forward  or  '<'  for
              backwards as the second character of each line of output, and in '#' comment lines.
