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.
