NAME

       mincconvert - convert between MINC 1 to MINC 2 format.

SYNOPSIS

       mincconvert [-clobber] [-2] infile outfile

       mincconvert -help

DESCRIPTION

       mincconvert  copies the input file to the output file, possibly converting the file from MINC 1 to MINC 2
       format, or vice versa.

       With the -template flag, mincconvert creates a "template" volume from the input MINC volume. The template
       volume  preserves  all  of the structure (dimensions, variables, and attributes) of the input MINC volume
       but omits all data.  Any attempt to read data will return zeroes.

       The resulting file is typically much shorter than a normal MINC volume, and may  be  useful  for  scripts
       which  want  to  carry  such  structural information forward into their output files. As a hint to future
       programmers and users, this program places a special global attribute in the file, with  the  name  class
       and the value template.

OPTIONS

       -2     Create a MINC 2 format file

       -clobber
              Overwrite a pre-existing output file.  -help Print a summary of command line options and exit

       -template
              Create a template file.

       -compress N
              Compress  file  with  compression level N.  Valid compression levels are 0 for no compression to 9
              for maximum compression. The option has no effect if the output file is a MINC 1 file.

       -chunk M
              Store file in a block-structured arrangement, using hypercubes of edge length M.  The  option  has
              no effect if the output file is a MINC 1 file.

       -help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

       -version
              Print the program's version number and exit.
