NAME
       flipx - Flip x axis in a FITS image

SYNOPSIS
       flipx <input images>

DESCRIPTION
       This is an example use of the qfits library. This program expects a list of FITS file names in input. For each input file, it will flip the
       image contained in the main data section in the X direction, i.e. pixel (i,j) is swapped with pixel (lx-i, j).

       The pixel loading mechanism is independent from endian-ness of the local host or FITS pixel type. This program offers a	good  overview	of
       how to use qfits for pixel-level operations.

OPTIONS
       None.

FILES
       Input files shall all comply with FITS format.

BUGS
       Notice that this program does not support cubes or image extensions, but could be easily extended to support that case.
