NAME

       mincexpand - expands a compressed minc file, if necessary.

SYNOPSIS

       mincexpand [<options>] <infile> [<outfile>]

DESCRIPTION

       Mincexpand  expands  a  compressed, packed, gzipped or zipped minc file
       into a temporary file using gunzip (or zcat or pcat) and prints out the
       name of the new file. If the input file is not compressed, then nothing
       is done and the original  file  name  is  printed.  A  second  line  is
       printed,  indicating  whether  the name is that of a new temporary file
       ("Temporary") or that of the original file ("Original"). If  no  output
       file name is given, then the program generates its own.

OPTIONS

       -header_only
              Expand only enough of the file to be able to read the header.

       -all_data
              Expand the whole file (default).

       -name_only
              Print  out  only  the  file  name,  not the status (Temporary or
              Original).

       -help  Print summary of command-line options and exit.

       -version
              Print the program’s version number and exit.
