NAME¶
dcmftest - Test if file uses DICOM part 10 format
SYNOPSIS¶
dcmftest file...
DESCRIPTION¶
The
dcmftest utility checks whether the files specified on the command
line are DICOM files in part 10 format (with meta-header).
PARAMETERS¶
dcmfile-in DICOM input filename to be dumped
NOTES¶
All files specified on the command line are checked for the presence of the
DICOM 'magic word' 'DICM' at byte position 128. No attempt is made to parse
the complete data set. For each file the test result is printed to
stdout in the form 'yes: <filename>\n' or 'no:
<filename>\n'. The utility terminates with a return code corresponding
to the number of files found to be non-DICOM, i.e. if all files pass as DICOM
files, the return value is 0. This behaviour is intended for use in shell
script programming.
