## NAME

i.tape.mss.h - An imagery function that extracts header information from LANDSAT Multispectral Scanner (MSS) imagery data stored on half-inch tape.
(GRASS Image Processing Program)

## SYNOPSIS

i.tape.mss.h
i.tape.mss.h help
i.tape.mss.h tape_drive_name

## DESCRIPTION

i.tape.mss.h reads the header information on a Multispectral Scanner (MSS) tape. This program reads the specified input file (the computer-compatible tape tape_drive_name), and by default displays the output to the user's terminal. The user may redirect output to a file by using the UNIX redirection mechanism. For example:

  i.tape.mss.h /dev/rmt0 > h.out

The name of the tape drive depends on the computer being used.

This program can be run either non-interactively or interactively. The user can run the program by specifying program arguments on the command line. Alternately, the user can simply type i.tape.mss.h on the command line, without program arguments. In this event, the program will prompt the user to enter a tape device name using the standard user interface described in the manual entry for parser.
