NAME
     mincinfo - print out specified information about a minc file

SYNOPSIS
     mincinfo [<options>] <file> [<file> ...]

DESCRIPTION
     mincinfo  will print out either a general description of a minc file (type,
     sign and range of data, plus a brief description of  dimensions  and  their
     order),  or  specific information about dimensions, variables or attributes
     in the file. This program can be very useful  for	building  shell  scripts
     that access minc files.

     All  information  given by mincinfo is presented as read from the file with
     no transformation.  This means that start and step values, for example, are
     not in the world coordinate system.  To display the start values for a file
     in world coordinates, use voxeltoworld.

OPTIONS
     Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they are
     unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line.   Dimensions,  vari-
     ables  and  attributes are all specified by name.	Attributes are specified
     by variable:attribute where variable can be omitted to specify  global  at-
     tributes.	More  than one option can be specified, in which case the return
     value from each option is printed on a separate line (-image_info prints on
     many lines) in the order of the options on the command line.

     -image_info
	    Print out the default general information about the file.  This  in-
	    formation  includes  the type, sign and range of the pixel data, the
	    order of the dimensions, and  a  list  of  dimensions  giving  name,
	    length, start and step for each one.

     -dimnames
	    Print out a space-separated list of the dimensions in the file.

     -varnames
	    Print out a space-separated list of the variables in the file.

     -dimlength dimension
	    Print the length of the specified dimension.

     -vartype variable
	    Print the type of the variable.

     -vardims variable
	    Print  a  space-separated  list of the dimensions that subscript the
	    variable (in C order).

     -varatts variable
	    Print a space-separated list of the attribute names for  the  speci-
	    fied variable.

     -varvalues variable
	    Print  a newline-separated list of the values of the specified vari-
	    able.

     -atttype variable:attribute
	    Print out the type of the specified attribute.

     -attvalue variable:attribute
	    Print out a space-separated list of the values of the specified  at-
	    tribute.

     -error_string string
	    Specifies  a string to print out if an error occurs. This will cause
	    the program to exit with normal status. The default is to  print  an
	    appropriate error message and exit with an error status.

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

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

EXAMPLES
     Print out standard information about a minc file.

	    mincinfo file.mnc

     Print out contents of global history attribute.

	    mincinfo file.mnc -attvalue :history

     Print out step value for x dimension, setting the default value to 1.

	    mincinfo file.mnc -attvalue xspace:step -error 1

     Print out the step values for x, y and z, setting the default value to 1.

	    mincinfo file.mnc -error 1 \
		 -attvalue xspace:step \
		 -attvalue yspace:step \
		 -attvalue zspace:step

     Print out the names of the dimensions subscripting the image variable.

		 mincinfo file.mnc -vardims image
