| Abstract: |
The Multiple Extension FITS (MEF) file interface is an IRAF library providing facilities for general file operations upon FITS multi-extension files. The MEF library has been used as the basis for a set of new IRAF tasks providing file level operations for multi-extension files. These operations include functions like listing extensions, extracting, inserting, or appending extensions, deleting extensions, and manipulating extension headers. MEF supports extensions of any type since it is a file level interface and does not attempt to interpret the contents of a particular extension type. Other IRAF interfaces such as IMIO (the FITS image kernel) and STSDAS TABLES are available for dealing with specific types of extensions such as the IMAGE extension or binary tables. |
