ficalib 0.9.4 (2021.01.24)                        January 2021                                        FICALIB(1)

       The  purpose  of  this  program  is to do various calibration steps on the input images, including mosaic
       frame joining, generic overscan corrections, bias and (exp. time scaled) dark subtraction and flat  field
       corrections.

Generaloptions:-h, --help
              Gives general summary about the command line options.

       --long-help, --help-long
              Gives a detailed list of command line options.

       --wiki-help, --help-wiki, --mediawiki-help, --help-mediawiki
              Gives a detailed list of command line options in Mediawiki format.

       --version, --version-short, --short-version
              Gives some version information about the program.

       -i, --input <inputs>
              List of input images (up to the next option).

       -o, --output <outputs>
              List of output images (up to the next option).

       -r, --rewrite-output-name '[<from>|]<to>'
              Rewrite  the output file names according to the rule specified by the argument of this switch. The
              <to> part must contain a single asterix (*) that is replaced by the original file name or, if  the
              <from>  part  is  specified  and  it  can  be matched by the filename, the appropriate part of the
              filename is written to the output filename. For instance, '*.fits|*.calib.fits' will  replace  the
              `fits`  extension  to  `calib.fits`  if  the  original  filename  has a fits extension, otherwise,
              concatenates the `calib.fits` as an extension to the filename. Note that the <from> and <to>  part
              must  be  separated  by  a  vertical  bar  (the character used in UNIX shells for creating pipes),
              therefore either this character must be escaped or put into  quotation  marks  (according  to  the
              current  shell). If the -o|--output list of filenames are not, but this argument is specified, the
              list of original output files will be the same as the list of input filenames.
