nxconvert - convert a NeXus file between different on disk file formats

nxconvert [-x|-h 4|-h 5|-d|-o keepws|-o table] [infile [outfile]]

NeXus supports different file formats for physical storage on disk or other media. nxconvert allows the user to convert a file to a different backend.

If no output file is supplied on the command line, the program asks for one interactively. Same if the input file is not given.

The following options are supported:

create XML output
create HDF4 output
create HDF5 output
make a XML based definition file used for validating NeXus files (i.e. remove the data).
the XML file created should preserve whitespace.
the XML file created should write the data in a table format where the columns and rows are easily imported into spreadsheet programs.
