NAME

       nxconvert - convert a NeXus file between different on disk file formats

SYNOPSIS

       nxconvert [-x|-h4|-h5|-d|-o keepws|-o table] [infile [outfile]]

DESCRIPTION

       NeXus  supports  different  file  formats  for  physical  storage  on disk or other media.
       nxconvert allows the user to convert a file to a different backend.

       If no output file is supplied on the command line, the program asks for one interactively.
       Same if the input file is not given.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -x     make outfile XML

       -h4    make outfile HDF4 (this is the default)

       -h5    make outfile HDF5

       -d     make  a  XML based definition file used for validating NeXus files (i.e. remove the
              data).

       -o keepws
              the XML file created should preserve whitespace.

       -o table
              the XML file created should write the data in a table format where the columns  and
              rows are easily imported into spreadsheet programs.
