       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.
