NAME
       dcmftest - Test if file uses DICOM part 10 format

SYNOPSIS
       dcmftest file...

DESCRIPTION
       The dcmftest utility checks whether the files specified on the command
       line are DICOM files in part 10 format (with meta-header).

PARAMETERS
       dcmfile-in  DICOM input filename to be checked

NOTES
       All files specified on the command line are checked for the presence of
       the DICOM "magic word" 'DICM' at byte position 128. No attempt is made
       to parse the complete data set. For each file the test result is
       printed to stdout in the form "yes: <filename>\n" or "no:
       <filename>\n". The utility terminates with a return code corresponding
       to the number of files found to be non-DICOM, i.e. if all files pass as
       DICOM files, the return value is 0. This behavior is intended for use
       in shell script programming.
