mPutHdr - Replace a FITS image's header with one from an ASCII header template

Arguments

in.fits
              Input FITS file.

       out.fits
              Path to output FITS file (with new header)

       hdr.template
              ASCII header template to write into out.fits.

Bugs

       The drizzle algorithm has been implemented but has not been tested in this release.

       If a header template contains carriage returns (i.e., created/modified on a Windows machine), the cfitsio
       library  will  be  unable  to read it properly, resulting in the error: [struct stat="ERROR", status=207,
       msg="illegal character in keyword"]

       It is best for the background correction  algorithms  if  the  area  described  in  the  header  template
       completely encloses all of the input images in their entirety. If parts of input images are "chopped off"
       by  the  header  template,  the  background correction will be affected. We recommend you use an expanded
       header for the reprojection and background modeling steps, returning to  the  originally  desired  header
       size  for  the  final  coaddition.  The  default background matching assumes that there are no non-linear
       background variations in the individual images (and therefore in the overlap differences).  If  there  is
       any  uncertainty  in  this  regard, it is safer to turn on the "level only" background matching (the "-l"
       flag in mBgModel.

Description

       Replaces the header of the input file with one supplied by the user.

Examples

       After  running  mGetHdr  to  write the contents of a FITS header to a file, we can edit that file to make
       corrections (remove extraneous lines, add HISTORY lines, etc).  Then, to write  a  file  with  the  fixed
       header:

       $ mPutHdr acs.fits acs_out.fits acs_fixed.hdr
              [struct stat="OK"]

Messages

       OK     [struct stat="OK"]

       ERROR  Cannot open status file: statusfile

       ERROR  HDU value (hdu) must be a non-negative integer

       ERROR  Not enough memory for output data image array.

       ERROR  Input wcsinit() failed.

       ERROR  FITSlibraryerror

Name

       mPutHdr - Replace a FITS image's header with one from an ASCII header template

Options

       -d     Turns on debugging to the specified level (this version only supports level "1").

       -s statusfile
              Output and errors are sent to statusfile instead of to stdout

       -h hdu Write to the specified FITS extnension (HDU).

Result

[structstat="OK"]

       Creates  FITS file out.fits which contains the same data as in.fits, but has the contents of template.hdr
       as its header in the specified extension (default 0, or primary extension).  numlines is  the  number  of
       FITS header lines found in the input header template.

Synopsis

       mPutHdr [-d level] [-s statusfile] [-h hdu] in.fits out.fits hdr.template
