<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The <I>votcnv</I> task is used to convert a VOTable XML document to a
different format, or to rewrite a VOTable using (or removing) indention.
Creating a new VOTable document will fix any compliance issues since the
task will loosly read a VOTable on input but will always write an XML
file that complies with the VOTable specification.
<P>
The <I>-f</I> (or <I>--fmt</I>) flag is used to specify the new format using
one of the names listed below.
<P>
<I>vot<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
A new VOTable<BR>
<I>asv<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
ASCII-separated (i.e. whitespace) values.<BR>
<I>bsv<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
Bar-separated values.<BR>
<I>csv<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
Comma-separated values<BR>
<I>tsv<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
Tab-separated values<BR>
<I>html<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
Standalone HTML document (entire table)<BR>
<I>shtml<TT> </TT></I>
Single HTML table<BR>
<I>fits<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
FITS bintable<BR>
<I>ascii<TT> </TT></I>
ASV alias<BR>
<I>xml<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
VOTable alias<BR>
<I>raw<TT> </TT><TT> </TT></I>
VOTable alias<BR>
<P>
For formats such as CSV that normally
include column headers, the <I>-n</I> (or <I>--noheader</I>) flag may be used
to suppress this header. The FITS file produced will be an MEF containing
a bintable extension for each VOTable "<TABLE>" element. Column types and
names in this case come from the VOTable "<FIELD>" attributes.
<P>
If no input file is specified the VOTable will be read from the stdin,
results will be written to stdout unless the <I>-o</I> (or <I>--output</I>)
names an output file. The task will only process a single VOTable and may
not be used to convert multiple files in a single call.
<P>
<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
<H2>RETURN STATUS</H2>
On exit the <B>votcnv</B> task will return a zero indicating success, or a
one indicating an error.
