[-v] Prints the version number.

-i inputfile Specifies the HDF5 file to be decoded.

-f fieldname Specifies the fieldname to be decoded, e.g. '/dataset1'.

-o outputprefix Specifies the prefix for the output files, the files that will be generated are <outputprefix>.info and <outputprefix>.data.

The file with extension .info will get the following apperance: DATATYPE: [ATTRIBUTE or DATASET] FIELDNAME: [name of the field, e.g. '/attr1'] DATASIZE: [size of the datatype in bytes] DATAFORMAT: [string representation of the datatype, e.g. int] DIMS: [the dimension of the data embraced by [], e.g. [10,10]]

The file with extension .data will be saved in byteformat with native byte order.
