6 meandark - utility for making master-dark frames
7
9 meandark [ options ] output-file input-files ...
10
12 The meandark command compose a set of dark frames and makes one dark
13 frame called ´master-dark´. Applying this function, you can achieve
14 high quality correction frame and thus reducing the noise of a
15 result.
16 All source frames must be in the FITS format and of same dimensions.
18 Frames of the same exposition duration should be used. The output file
19 is written in the FITS format too.
20
22 Names of input files can be specified directly on a command-line as
23 command arguments; it is allowed to use the usual wildcard notation. In
24 case the input files are placed outside the working directory, you have
25 to specify the proper path relative to the current working directory.
26 Alternatively, you can also prepare a list of input file names in a
28 text file, each input file on a separate line. It is not allowed to use
29 the wildcard notation here. Use the -i option to instruct the program
30 to read the file.
31
33 Options are used to provide extra information to customize the execu‐
34 tion of a command. They are specified as command arguments.
35 Each option has a full form starting with two dashes and an optional
37 short form starting with one dash only. Options are case-sensitive. It
38 is allowed to merge two or more successive short options together. Some
39 options require a value; in this case a value is taken from a subse‐
40 quent argument. When a full form is used, an option and its value can
41 also be separated by an equal sign. When a short form is used, its
42 value can immediately follow the option.
43 Whenever there is a conflict between a configuration file parameter and
45 an option of the same meaning, the option always take precedence.
46 -s, --set name=value
48 set value of configuration parameter
49 -i, --read-dirfile filepath
51 read list of input files from specified file; see the Files sec‐
52 tion for details.
53 -p, --configuration-file filepath
55 read parameters from given configuration file. See the Configu‐
56 ration file section for details.
57 -h, --help
59 print list of command-line parameters
60 -q, --quiet
62 quiet mode; suppress all messages
63 --version
65 print software version string
66 --licence
68 print software licence
69 --verbose
71 verbose mode; print debug messages
72
74 Configuration files are used to set the input parameters to the process
75 that is going to be executed by a command. Use the -p option to
76 instruct the program to read the file before other command-line options
77 are processed.
78 The configuration file consists of a set of parameters stored in a text
80 file. Each parameter is stored on a separate line in the following
81 form: name = value, all other lines are silently ignored. Parameter
82 names are case-sensitive.
83 bitpix = value
85 output data format (0=Auto)
86 scalable = value
88 make scalable dark-frame (0=No, 1=Yes)
89
91 meandark out.fts in1.fts in2.fts in3.fts
92 The command computes the master-dark frame from the input files
93 in1.fts, in2.fts a in3.fts; the resulting frame is stored to
94 output file out.fts.
95
97 The command returns a zero exit status if it succeeds to process all
98 specified files. Otherwise, it will stop immediately when an error
99 occurs and a nonzero error code is returned.
