SYNOPSIS

       ptrepack  -h  -v  -o -R start,stop,step --non-recursive --dest-title=title --dont-copyuser-attrs --overwrite-nodes --complevel=(0-9) --com-

DESCRIPTION

       Copy any Leaf, Group or complete subtree from a PyTables file into another file.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -h     Prints a help text.

       -v     Show more information.

       -o     Overwite destination file.

       -R RANGE
	      Select a RANGE of rows in the form start,stop,step during the copy of all the leaves.

       --non-recursive
	      Do not do a recursive copy. Default is to do it.

       --dest-title=title
	      Title for the new file (if not specified, the source is copied).

       --dont-copy-userattrs
	      Do not copy the user attrs (default is to do it).

       --overwrite-nodes
	      Overwrite destination nodes if they exist. Default is not to overwrite them.

       --complevel=(0-9)
	      Set a compression level (0 for no compression, which is the default).

       --complib=lib
	      Set the compression library to be used during the copy. lib can be set to "zlib", "lzo", "ucl" or "bzip2". Defaults to "zlib".

       --shuffle=(0|1)

	      option is specified.

       --upgrade-flavors
	      When repacking PyTables 1.x files, the flavor of leaves will be unset. With this, such a leaves will be serialized as  objects  with
	      the internal flavor ("numpy" for 2.x series).

       --dont-regenerate-old-indexes
	      Disable regenerating old indexes. The default is to regenerate old indexes as they are found.
