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

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.
Files
Input files shall all comply with FITS format.
