Description

The command reads a file containing a sequence of records in a given format, and optionally writes a new file with the same sequence in a different format.

If no output is requested, the input file is just checked for correctness.

Both the input and output files must reside in PlasmaFS.

Formats

The following formats are understood:

• text: Text format
• var: Variable-size format
• fixed:N Fixed-size format (with size N as integer)
