ddo_combine utility

The ddo_combine utility combines a header file and a pixel file into a DICOM file for use in single file format systems. This program can handle DICOM objects that have the DICOM Group 2 file header information.

Synopsis

ddo_combine [-B {Big_endian | Little_endian}] [-F image_file_name] [-g n] [-k] [-l {debug | info | error | audit} [-m] [-r] [-s] [-u] [-V {Explicit | Implicit}] [-X [acoqs]] [-z] image_file_name [image_file_name]

Options
‑B	{Big_endian \| Little_endian}	Specifies the byte order of the object you are combing: either Big_endian or the default Little_endian.
‑F	image_file_name	Specifies the name of one of the files to combine. This is for backwards compatibility. Now both image-file-names can be specified at the end of the command line.
‑g	n	Strips n segments from the file name.
‑k		Prevents any segments from being stripped off the filename.
‑l	{audit \| error \| info \| debug}	Sets the log level to one of audit, error, info, or debug, where each successive log level increases the amount of information that is output. The default log level is error.
‑m		Reads into memory before combining.
‑r		Recurses through subdirectories. This option causes ddo_combine to walk through the directory structure within the directory specified by image-file-name. This recursion does not include hidden files or hidden directories (files/directories starting with a period).
‑s		Logs output to stderr.
‑u		Unlinks the files once they are combined.
‑V	{Explicit \| Implicit}	Specifies the value representation of the object: either Explicit or the default Implicit.
‑X	[acoqs]	DICOM debugging options. To enable all DICOM logging, use -X acoqs. a = Contents of association. c = Contents of command objects. o = Contents of data objects. q = Contents of query objects. s = Changes in DICOM state machine.
‑z		Does not unlink the files once they are combined.
