fitsheader

fitsheader prints out the header of a specified fits file hdu or information on the entire file

USAGE	fitsheader filename[hdu_number] or [‘info’]
INPUT	filename hdu_number in the input fits file; default = 0 info requests information on the entire file
OUTPUT	none
PARAMETERS	none

Details:

fitsheader looks for fits files in the directory COSMOS_IMAGE_DIR. Note that, unlike most COSMOS programs, you must provide the entire file name (without extension) e.g. ift2137c1 rather than the root name of a set of ccd files, e.g. ift2137. If the filename is followed by “info”, information on the entire file structure is output, rather than one header.
