NAME
     dcmftest - Test if file uses DICOM part 10 format

SYNOPSIS
     dcmftest file...

DESCRIPTION
     The dcmftest utility checks whether the files specified on the command line
     are DICOM files in part 10 format (with meta-header).

PARAMETERS
     dcmfile-in  DICOM input filename to be checked

NOTES
     All files specified on the command line are checked for the presence of the
     DICOM 'magic word' 'DICM' at byte position 128. No attempt is made to parse
     the  complete  data set. For each file the test result is printed to stdout
     in the form 'yes: <filename>\n' or 'no: <filename>\n'. The  utility  termi-
     nates  with  a return code corresponding to the number of files found to be
     non-DICOM, i.e. if all files pass as DICOM files, the return  value  is  0.
     This behavior is intended for use in shell script programming.
