NAME

       aida2flat - Convert AIDA data files to a flat format

SYNOPSIS

       aida2flat [options] aidafile [aidafile2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Convert	AIDA  data  files  to  a  flat	format	which  is  more  human-readable then the XML (and by default also plottable directly using
       make-plots). The output is by default written out to standard output unless the --split, --smart-output, --gnuplot, or --output options are
       specified. When specifying either input or output filenames, a '-' is used to refer to stdin or stdout as appropriate.

       Histograms can also be filtered by AIDA path, using the -m or -M options for a positive or negative regex pattern patch respectively.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT
	      Write  all  histos to a single output file, rather than the default writing to stdout. stdout can be explicitly specified by setting
	      '-' as the output filename. This option will be disregarded if --split, --smart-output, or --gnuplot is specified.

       -s, --split
	      Write each histo to a separate output file, with names based on the histo path

       -S, --smart-output
	      Write to output files with names based on the corresponding input filename. This option will be disregarded if --split is specified.

       -g, --gnuplot
	      Provide output suitable for Gnuplot's 'plot "foo.dat" with  xye'.  This  option  implies	--split  and  will  override  --output	or
	      --smart-output

       --plotinfodir=PLOTINFODIR
	      directory which may contain plot header information

       -m PATHPATTERNS, --match=PATHPATTERNS
	      Only write out histograms whose $path/$name string matches these regexes

       -M PATHUNPATTERNS, --unmatch=PATHUNPATTERNS
	      Exclude histograms whose $path/$name string matches these regexes
