.SH NAME
pttree \- prints a quick overview of the contents of PyTables HDF5 files.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pttree
[ OPTIONS ]
.RB filename[:nodepath]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B pttree
is designed to give a quick overview of the contents of a PyTables
HDF5 file by printing a depth-indented list of nodes, similar to the output of
the Unix `tree` function. It can also display the size, shape and compression
states of individual nodes, as well as summary information for the whole file.
For a more verbose output (including metadata), see `ptdump`.

.SH OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
.TP
.B \-L MAX_DEPTH, \--max-level MAX_DEPTH
maximum branch depth of tree to display (-1 == no limit)
.TP
.B \-S SORT_BY, \--sort-by SORT_BY
artificially order nodes, can be either "size", "name" or "none"
.TP
.B \--print-size
print size of each node/branch
.TP
.B \--no-print-size
.TP
.B \--print-shape
print shape of each node
.TP
.B \--no-print-shape
.TP
.B \--print-compression
print compression library(level) for each compressed node
.TP
.B \--no-print-compression
.TP
.B \--print-percent
print size of each node as a % of the total tree size on disk
.TP
.B \--no-print-percent
.TP
.B \--use-si-units
report sizes in SI units (1 MB == 10^6 B)
.TP
.B \--use-binary-units
report sizes in binary units (1 MiB == 2^20 B)
.TP
.B \-h
Print help on usage.
