dump_hdrkey

Purpose:

    Write the value of a single key from the header to the standard ouput. This is useful for bash scripts.

Usage:

dump_hdrkey key filename1 filename2 ...

Options:

  • -K, --dump_keys Dump list of keys ("key" argument is ignored but must be present).
  • -k KEYS, --key=KEYS A key to be extracted. This argument can be entered multiple times.
  • -v, --verbose Print filename, key, value if true. Otherwise only print value.
  • -f, --print_fname Print filename at beginning of line.
  • -l, --line_feed Print return at end of each line.

Example

dump_hdrkey -k PulseSequenceName S4_EFGRE3D efgre3d

The command returns the name of the pulse sequence on the command line. The bash code

x=`dump_hdrkey -k PulseSequenceName S4_EFGRE3D`

would set the variable x equal to the pulse sequence name.
