DESCRIPTION
The nxsummary utility prints summary information about NeXus files. This program relies heavily on the
configuration file that is located in "${HOME}/.nxsummary.conf" or "/etc/nxsummary.conf". A sample
configuration file can be obtained using the "--writeconfig" flag. Each item tag in the file describes a
node to print from the NeXus file. The path attribute describes where in the NeXus file to get
information from. The label attributes is what will be printed when showing the value of the specified
field. The optional operation attribute provides for certain operations to be performed on the data
before printing out the result. Valid operations are:
COUNT - The number of elements in the requested field.
DIMS - The dimensions of the requested field.
SUM - Add together all of the array elements and print the
result.
