tabletofits - convert a starbase table to a FITS binary table.

SYNOPSYS

tabletofits [-i infile] ] [-o outfile] [column:flag.width] [column:flag.width ...]

Column types are specified using the standard FITS table data type definition characters. The width specifier is only used with strings to set the maximum string length.

         C char
         L char
         X char
         B unsigned char
         U short
         I short
         J int
         V unsigned int
         F float
         E float
         D double
         A string

If no column name:type pairs are given tabletofits does its best to guess the data type of the input columns.
