NAME

       mincexpand - expands a compressed minc file, if necessary.

SYNOPSIS

       mincexpand [<options>] <infile> [<outfile>]

DESCRIPTION

       Mincexpand expands a compressed, packed, gzipped or zipped minc file into a temporary file
       using gunzip (or zcat or pcat) and prints out the name of the new file. If the input  file
       is  not  compressed,  then nothing is done and the original file name is printed. A second
       line is printed, indicating whether the name is that of a new temporary file ("Temporary")
       or  that  of  the  original  file  ("Original"). If no output file name is given, then the
       program generates its own.

OPTIONS

       -header_only
              Expand only enough of the file to be able to read the header.

       -all_data
              Expand the whole file (default).

       -name_only
              Print out only the file name, not the status (Temporary or Original).

       -help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

       -version
              Print the program's version number and exit.
