gethead
Print FITS and IRAF Image Header Keyword Values
gethead is a utility for printing FITS or IRAF header keyword values. It parses the command line to separate file names from keywords. File names must have the extensions .fit, .fits, .fts, .FIT, .FITS, or .FTS for FITS files or .imh for either version 1 or version 2 IRAF files. Keyword names may be entered in either upper or lower case; they will be automatically translated to upper case by the program. Tab table output, with tab-separated columns with tab-separated column headers, is an option. A list of filenames may be used by prefacing it with a @.
