<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The <strong class="command">timebat</strong> command applies time correction to a set of source frames. It means,
that it adds given amount of time to the times of observation. The program does not touch neither
the image data nor other parameters in header.
The source frames must be in the FITS format. The output file is in the FITS format too.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="input-files">
<span id="timebat-input-files"></span><h2>Input files<a class="headerlink" href="#input-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Names of input files can be specified directly on a command-line as command arguments; it is allowed to use the
usual wild-card notation. In case the input files are placed outside the working directory, you have to specify
the proper path relative to the current working directory.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can also prepare a list of input file names in a text file, each input file on a separate line.
It is not allowed to use the wild-card notation here. Use the -i option to instruct the program to read the file.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="output-files">
<span id="timebat-output-files"></span><h2>Output files<a class="headerlink" href="#output-files" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>By default, output files are stored to the current working directory. Their names
are derived from the command name followed by a sequential number starting by 1.
Command options allows a caller to modify the default naming of output files.</p>
<p>The -o option sets the format string; it may contain a path where
the files shall be stored to. Special meaning has a sequence of question marks, it
is replaced by the ordinal number of a file indented by leading zeros to the same
number of decimal places as the number of the question marks.</p>
<p>By means of the -i option, you can modify the initial value of a counter.</p>
<p>On request, the program can write a list of output files to a text file, use the -g option
to specify a file name.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="options">
<h2>Options<a class="headerlink" href="#options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Options are used to provide extra information to customize the execution of a command. They are specified as command
arguments.</p>
<p>Each option has a full form starting with two dashes and an optional short form starting with one dash only. Options
are case-sensitive. It is allowed to merge two or more successive short options together. Some options require a value;
in this case a value is taken from a subsequent argument. When a full form is used, an option and its value can also
be separated by an equal sign. When a short form is used, its value can immediately follow the option.</p>
<p>Whenever there is a conflict between a configuration file parameter and an option of the same meaning, the option
always take precedence.</p>
