Converts one or a set of search-mode PSRFITS files to a single SIGPROC .fil file. Supports 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-bit PSRFITS files, both single- and dual-polarization. For dual-polarization data, by default, the output is written to two files, one for each polarization. Polarization-summing is supported.

This program ignores weights, offsets, and scales.

Usage:

• -h or --help: Display this usage information.
• -s or --sum: Sum polarizations in the case of dual-polarization data.
• -v or --version: Display the version.

The data file name may be a composed of standard shell wildcards such as * or ?.

Example:

Converts the files data.000.fits, data.001.fits, and data.002.fits to data.000.fil, assuming that there are no other files in the current directory that match the wildcard expansion of data.0*.fits.
