NAME

       freefoam-formatConvert - Converts all IOobjects associated with a case into the format specified in the
       controlDict.

SYNOPSIS

       freefoam formatConvert [-help] [-latestTime] [-noZero] [-srcDoc] [-doc] [-time <time>] [-constant]
       [-parallel] [-case <dir>]

DESCRIPTION

       Mainly used to convert binary mesh/field files to ASCII.

       Bugs Any zero-size List written binary gets written as 0. When reading the file as a dictionary this is
       interpreted as a label. This is (usually) not a problem when doing patch fields since these get the
       uniform, nonuniform prefix. However zone contents are labelLists not labelFields and these go wrong. For
       now hacked a solution where we detect the keywords in zones and redo the dictionary entries to be
       labelLists.
