       gmtconvert - Convert between ASCII and binary 1-D tables

SYNOPSIS

       gmtconvert  [ inputfiles] [ -H[nrec] ] [ -M[flag] ] [ -V ]
       [ -: ] [ -bi[s]n ] [ -bo[s] ]

DESCRIPTION

       gmtconvert reads its standard input  [or  inputfiles]  and
       writes  out  the  information to standard output. Its main
       purpose is  to  convert  between  binary  and  ASCII  data
       tables.  Input  (and  hence output) may have multiple sub­
       headers if -M is selected.

       datafile(s)
              ASCII (or binary, see -bi) file(s) holding a number
              of data columns.

OPTIONS

       -H     Input  file(s)  has  Header  record(s).  Number  of
              header records can be changed by editing your .gmt­
              defaults  file.  If  used,  GMT default is 1 header
              record.

       -M     Multiple segment file(s). Segments are separated by
              a  special record.  For ASCII files the first char­
              acter must be flag [Default is  '>'].   For  binary
              files all fields must be NaN.

       -V     Selects  verbose  mode,  which  will  send progress
              reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].

       -:     Toggles  between  (longitude,latitude)  and  (lati­
              tude,longitude)  input/output.  [Default is (longi­
              tude,latitude)].  Applies to geographic coordinates
              only.

       -bi    Selects binary input. Append s for single precision
              [Default is double].  Append n for  the  number  of
              columns in the binary file(s).

       -bo    Selects  binary  output. Append s for single preci­
              sion [Default is double].

EXAMPLES

       To convert the binary file test.b (single precision)  with
       4 columns to ASCII, try

       gmtconvert test.b -bis4 > test.dat

       To  convert  the  multiple segment ASCII table test.d to a
       double precision binary file, try

       gmt(l), minmax(l)
