cif2cbf - convert a CIF to a CBF file
cif2cbf is a program that accepts either a CIF or a CBF as
input and outputs a CBF file.
- -i input_cif
- (default: stdin) the input file in CIF or CBF format. If input_cif is not
specified or is given as "-", it is copied from stdin to a
temporary file.
- -o output_cbf
- (default: stdout) the output cif (if base64 or quoted-printable encoding
is used) or cbf (if no encoding is used). if no output_cif is specified or
is given as "-", the output is written to stdout if the
output_cbf is /dev/null, no output is written.
The remaining options specify the characteristics of the output
cbf. The characteristics of the input cif are derived from context.
- -c
compression_scheme
- (packed, canonical, byte_offset, v2packed, flatpacked or none, default
packed)
- -m
[no]headers
- (default headers for cifs, noheaders for cbfs) selects MIME (N. Freed, N.
Borenstein, RFC 2045, November 1996) headers within binary data value text
fields.
- -d [no]digest
- (default md5 digest [R. Rivest, RFC 1321, April 1992 using"RSA Data
Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm"] when MIME headers are
selected)
- -e encoding
- (base64, quoted-printable or none, default base64) specifies one of the
standard MIME encodings for an ascii cif or "none" for a binary
cbf
- -b byte_order
- (forward or backwards, default forward (1234) on little-endian machines,
backwards (4321) on big-endian machines
- -p
K_of_padding
- (0, 1, 2, 4) for no padding after binary data 1023, 2047 or 4095 bytes of
padding after binary data
- -v dictionary
- specifies a dictionary to be used to validate the input cif and to apply
aliases to the output cif. This option may be specified multiple times,
with dictionaries layered in the order given.
- -w
- process wide (2048 character) lines
convert_image(1), img2cif(1), makecbf(1).
