Additional Info CFITSIO includes two useful tools to compress and decompress fits files, called fpack and funpack (see the FPACK website for details), a command to list a fits file header, listhead, plus two commands to copy an image (with optional on-the-fly compression), fitscopy and imcopy.
Run these commands with no argument for quick usage help.
