/*! \file   nifti_tool.c
 *  \brief  a tool for nifti file perusal, manipulation and copying
 *          written by Rick Reynolds, SSCC, NIMH, January 2005
 * <pre>
 *
 * usage: nifti_tool [options] -infiles files...
 *
 * Via this tool, one should be able to:
 *
 *       - copy a set of volumes (sub-bricks) from one dataset to another
 *       - copy a dataset, restricting some dimensions to given indices
 *
 *       - display the contents of a nifti_image (or various fields)
 *       - display the contents of a nifti1_header (or various fields)
 *       - display AFNI extensions (they are text)
 *       - display the time series at coordinates i,j,k
 *       - display the data from any collapsed image
 *
 *       - do a diff on two nifti_image structs (or various fields)
 *       - do a diff on two nifti1_header structs (or various fields)
 *
 *       - add an AFNI extension
 *       - remove any extension
 *
 *       - modify any field(s) of a nifti_image
 *       - modify any field(s) of a nifti1_struct
 *
 * usage forms:
 *
 *   nifti_tool -help
 *   nifti_tool -help_hdr
 *   nifti_tool -help_nim
 *   nifti_tool -help_ana
 *   nifti_tool -help_datatypes
