DESCRIPTION

14       The  nxsummary  utility  prints  summary information about NeXus files.
15       This program relies heavily on the configuration file that  is  located
16       in "${HOME}/.nxsummary.conf" or "/etc/nxsummary.conf". A sample config‐
17       uration file can be obtained using the "--writeconfig" flag. Each  item
18       tag in the file describes a node to print from the NeXus file. The path
19       attribute describes where in the NeXus file to  get  information  from.
20       The  label attributes is what will be printed when showing the value of
21       the specified field. The optional operation attribute provides for cer‐
22       tain  operations  to  be  performed on the data before printing out the
23       result. Valid operations are:
24
25          COUNT - The number of elements in the requested field.
26
27          DIMS - The dimensions of the requested field.
28
29          SUM - Add together all of the array elements and print the
30          result.
31
32          UNITS:newunits - Specify the units to print the result in.
