NAME

       nxtranslate - convert anything into a NeXus file

SYNOPSIS

       nxtranslate [options] [--hd4|--hdf5|--xml] [infile] [-o|--append outfile]

DESCRIPTION

       nxtranslate  is  an anything to NeXus converter. This is accomplished by using translation
       files and a plugin style of architecture where nxtranslate can read from  new  formats  as
       plugins  become available. This document describes the usage of nxtranslate by three types
       of individuals: the person using existing translation files to  create  NeXus  files,  the
       person  creating  translation  files,  and the person writing new Retrievers. All of these
       concepts are discussed in detail.
