NAME

       aida2flat - Convert AIDA data files to a flat format

SYNOPSIS

       aida2flat [options] aidafile [aidafile2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Convert AIDA data files to a flat format which is more human-readable then the XML (and by
       default also plottable directly using make-plots). The output is by default written out to
       standard  output  unless  the  --split, --smart-output, --gnuplot, or --output options are
       specified. When specifying either input or output filenames, a '-' is  used  to  refer  to
       stdin or stdout as appropriate.

       Histograms can also be filtered by AIDA path, using the -m or -M options for a positive or
       negative regex pattern patch respectively.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT
              Write all histos to a single output  file,  rather  than  the  default  writing  to
              stdout.  stdout  can be explicitly specified by setting '-' as the output filename.
              This option will  be  disregarded  if  --split,  --smart-output,  or  --gnuplot  is
              specified.

       -s, --split
              Write each histo to a separate output file, with names based on the histo path

       -S, --smart-output
              Write  to  output  files with names based on the corresponding input filename. This
              option will be disregarded if --split is specified.

       -g, --gnuplot
              Provide output suitable for  Gnuplot's  'plot  "foo.dat"  with  xye'.  This  option
              implies --split and will override --output or --smart-output

       --plotinfodir=PLOTINFODIR
              directory which may contain plot header information

       -m PATHPATTERNS, --match=PATHPATTERNS
              Only write out histograms whose $path/$name string matches these regexes

       -M PATHUNPATTERNS, --unmatch=PATHUNPATTERNS
              Exclude histograms whose $path/$name string matches these regexes
