7

SYNOPSIS

9       usdcat [OPTIONS] inputFiles...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Write  usd  file(s)  either  as text to stdout or to a specified output
13       file.
14
15   Positionals:
16       inputFiles ...
17              A list of input files
18

OPTIONS

20       -h,--help
21              Print this help message and exit
22
23       -o,--out file
24              Write a single input file to this output file instead of stdout.
25
26       --usdFormat usda|usdc
27              Use this underlying file format for output files with the exten‐
28              sion  'usd'.  For  example,  passing  '-o output.usd --usdformat
29              usda' will  create  output.usd  as  a  text  file.  The  USD_DE‐
30              FAULT_FILE_FORMAT environment variable is another way to achieve
31              this.
32
33       -l,--loadOnly
34              Attempt to load the specified input files  and  report  'OK'  or
35              'ERR'  for  each one. After all files are processed, this script
36              will exit with a non-zero exit code if any files failed to load.
37
38       -f,--flatten
39              Compose stages with the input files as  root  layers  and  write
40              their flattened content.
41
42       --flattenLayerStack
43              Flatten the layer stack with the given root layer, and write out
44              the results. Unlike --flatten, this does not flatten composition
45              arcs (such as references).
46
47       --skipSourceFileComment
48              If  --flatten  is specified, skip adding a comment regarding the
49              source of the flattened layer in the documentation field of  the
50              output layer.
51
52       --mask PRIMPATH[,PRIMPATH...]
53              Limit stage population to these prims, their descendants and an‐
54              cestors. To specify multiple paths, either use  commas  with  no
55              spaces,  or  quote  the  argument  and  separate paths by commas
56              and/or spaces. Requires --flatten.
57
58       --layerMetadata
59              Load only layer metadata in the USD file.  This option cannot be
60              combined with either --flatten or --flattenLayerStack.
