MefCheck

Check whether one or more fits files have headers

Space Telescope Science Institute

Synopsis

Check whether one or more fits files have headers that conform to the fits standard, by looking at the warnings that astropy generates and for certain keywrods in the header.

Command Line Usage

usage: MefCheck.py [-np 8] [-all]  -dup_only Field ...

Description

where

-np 8 imples to run multiple threads, where each
thread processes one field

-all implies to do all fields in the DECam_MEF
directory

-dup_only just check for duplicate files in the MEF
directory structure

Primary Routines

doit

Notes

Normally, this will not generate any errors. The: routine generates a table mef_qual.tab in the Summary directory for each of the fields.

Version History

Attributes

MEFDIR

Functions

`check_for_duplicates`()	Check to see if the directory structure is clean in
`check_mefs`([field])
`count_warnings`(filename)
`do_one`(filename)
`do_one_field`([field])	Simply get all the information one wants about the imaages associated
`steer`(argv)	This is just a steering routine,
`test`([filename, outputfile])

Module Contents

MefCheck.MEFDIR = 'DECam_MEF/'

MefCheck.check_for_duplicates(): Check to see if the directory structure is clean in the sense that there is only one version of the same file in the directory structure

MefCheck.check_mefs(field='LMC_c45')

MefCheck.count_warnings(filename)

MefCheck.do_one(filename)

MefCheck.do_one_field(field='LMC_c45'): Simply get all the information one wants about the imaages associated with a single field

MefCheck.steer(argv): This is just a steering routine, and at present is not very useful,

MefCheck.test(filename='c4d_190108_063145_ooi_N662_v1.fits.fz', outputfile='out.txt')
