NAME
gpiv_series - Script for (parallel) processing a series of numbered
files.
SYNOPSIS
gpiv_series [-a | --arg_n] [-b | --basename FILE] [-e | --ext ext] [-f
| --first N] [-l | --last N] [-i | --incr N] [-x|| --prefix] [-h |
--help] [-n | --none] [-p | --print] [--pad] "process -key1 ..."
DESCRIPTION
gpiv_series processes a series of numbered files. If no parameters are
defined at the command line, standard parameters will be used that are
defined in the script. Principally, any program or script may be
invoked by gpiv_series. "Process" is a string which represents the name
of the program to be executed, including eventually command line
options and arguments. The file to be processed, as constructed from -b
c.s., will be appended to the "process" string. If the program has to
be feeded with -f "filename", write -f at the end of the string.
When using the parallelised version, mpipython is invoked and the
script may be launched with mpirun. The script needs that all input
files are accessible on each node by copying all data or by (NFS)
mounting the File System containing the input data on each node.
This program does not use the parameter resources from libgpiv.
Options
-a | --arg_n
If the process needs the current number in its argument list
instead of prepending/appending it to the FILE, the number will
be put before (-f) filename in the "process" string.
-b | --basename FILE
The FILE has to be given without its extension. FILE represents
the file name without its number. It is supposed that the
leading or ending number in the filename is the counter that
will be applied by gpiv_series when processing.
-e | --ext EXT
add an extension EXT after the filename (without the leading
".") in "process".
-f | --first N
Defines the counter N of the number at which the analyses
starts. Default: 0.
-l | --last N
The last number N that will be processed. Default: 0.
-i | --incr N
Increment number with N. Default: 1. This might be usefull, for
example, if subsequent numbered images are combined for cross-
correlation with the gpiv_img2gpiv tool.
-x | --prefix
Use prefix numbering to file basename.
-h | --help
On-line help.
-n | --none
Suppresses real execution, only prints the process to stdout.
-p | --print
Prints the process to be performed on each file to stdout.
--pad N
Padding a number with N zero’s when combining with the filename.

mpipython.
