NAME¶
minccomplete - checks if a MINC file is complete
SYNOPSIS¶
minccomplete [options] <file.mnc>
minccomplete is designed as a QC tool that you can use to check if MINC or xfm
files have been completely written.
DESCRIPTION¶
minccomplete will check if a file exists and is completely written. The
reasons for non-completion are varied but typically caused when a process
writing a MINC or xfm file is interrupted. A zero will be returned if the file
is complete and a -1 if it isn't.
Examples:
$ minccomplete in.mnc
0
$ minccomplete in.xfm
0
A MINC file is returned as complete if the image attribute image:complete is
set. ie:
mincinfo -attvalue image:complete infile.mnc
A xfm file is deemed complete if xfm2param can parse the file. The associated
exit codes will also be set as part of this so that minccomplete can be used
in scripts.
An entirely simplistic example:
#! /bin/sh
infile=$1
if [ `minccomplete ${infile}` ]
then
echo "Yes!"
else
echo "Nope, try again"
fi
