NAME

ConvertType - convert known data types to each other

SYNOPSIS

astconvertt [ OPTION...] InputFile1 [InputFile2] ... [ InputFile4]

DESCRIPTION

ConvertType is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.19. ConvertType will convert any of the known input formats to any other of the known formats. The output file will have the same number of pixels.
For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of ConvertType's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.
All options and their values:
$ astconvertt -P
