.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBgpiv_piv2hdf\fP converts ASCII-formattd PIV-data
(\fIfilename\fB.piv\fR), derived data, like vorticities
(\fIfilename\fB.vor\fR), strain (\fIfilename\fB.sstr\fR,
\fIfilename\fB.nstr\fR) and, eventually, raw data images
(\fIfilename\fB.r\fR), to a HDF5 formatted file
\fIfilename\fB.hdf\fR. The parameters that have been used for the
analysis and post processing are included in \fIfilename\fB.hdf\fR.

This program does not use the parameter resources from libgpiv. The
parameters may be defined by the command line options as explained
