6 kombine - utility for making conbining CCD frames

9 kombine [ options ] output-file input-files ...
10
12 The kombine command combines a set of CCD frames to a single CCD frame.
13 The source frames should be corrected already. The source frames are
14 shifted by the offset stored in the corresponding photometry file with
15 offset values. The photometry files are products of the Munimatch
16 utility. Then, the resulting values are computed pixel by pixel by
17 means of the mean algorithm (sum divided by total number of frames).
18 Pixels in those regions, which are not covered by all frames, are set
19 to zero. Pixels, which are zero on at least one of the source frames,
20 are set always to zero. Pixels, which are overexposed on one the source
21 frames, are set always to maximal value (655535 ADU).
22 All source frames must be in FITS format and of same dimensions. Frames
24 of the same color filter and exposition duration should be used. The
25 output file is in FITS format too.
26
28 Names of input files can be specified directly on a command-line as
29 command arguments; it is allowed to use the usual wildcard notation. In
30 case the input files are placed outside the working directory, you have
31 to specify the proper path relative to the current working directory.
32 Alternatively, you can also prepare a list of input file names in a
34 text file, each input file on a separate line. It is not allowed to use
35 the wildcard notation here. Use the -i option to instruct the program
36 to read the file.
37
39 Options are used to provide extra information to customize the execu‐
40 tion of a command. They are specified as command arguments.
41 Each option has a full form starting with two dashes and an optional
43 short form starting with one dash only. Options are case-sensitive. It
44 is allowed to merge two or more successive short options together. Some
45 options require a value; in this case a value is taken from a subse‐
46 quent argument. When a full form is used, an option and its value can
47 also be separated by an equal sign. When a short form is used, its
48 value can immediately follow the option.
49 Whenever there is a conflict between a configuration file parameter and
51 an option of the same meaning, the option always take precedence.
52 -s, --set name=value
54 set value of configuration parameter
55 -i, --read-dirfile filepath
57 read list of input files from specified file; see the Files sec‐
58 tion for details.
59 -p, --configuration-file filepath
61 read parameters from given configuration file. See the Configu‐
62 ration file section for details.
63 -h, --help
65 print list of command-line parameters
66 -q, --quiet
68 quiet mode; suppress all messages
69 --version
71 print software version string
72 --licence
74 print software licence
75 --verbose
77 verbose mode; print debug messages
78
80 Configuration files are used to set the input parameters to the process
81 that is going to be executed by a command. Use the -p option to
82 instruct the program to read the file before other command-line options
83 are processed.
84 The configuration file consists of a set of parameters stored in a text
86 file. Each parameter is stored on a separate line in the following
87 form: name = value, all other lines are silently ignored. Parameter
88 names are case-sensitive.
89 bitpix = value
91 output data format (0=Auto)
92
94 kombine ouptut.fts test1.fts test2.fts test3.fts
95 The command computes the combined frame from the files
96 test1.fts, test2.fts a test3.fts; the resulting frame is stored
97 to output.fts.
98
100 The command returns a zero exit status if it succeeds to process all
101 specified files. Otherwise, it will stop immediately when an error
102 occurs and a nonzero error code is returned.
