DESCRIPTION
Provides information in a variety of formats (including usda-like) about Sdf Layers or specified (filtered) parts of a layer.
Positionals:
- inputFiles ...
- The input files to process
OPTIONS
- -h,--help
- Print this help message and exit
- -p,--path regex
- Report only paths matching this regex.
- -f,--field regex
- Report only fields matching this regex.
- -t,--time n or ff..lf
- Report only these times (n) or time ranges (ff..lf) for 'timeSamples' fields
- --timeTolerance tol
- Report times that are close to those requested within this relative tolerance. Default: 0.000125
- --arraySizeLimit INT
- Truncate arrays with more than this many elements. If -1, do not truncate arrays. Default: 0 for 'outline' output, 8 for 'pseudoLayer' output, and -1 for 'layer' output.
- --timeSamplesSizeLimit INT
- Truncate timeSamples with more than this many values. If -1, do not truncate timeSamples. Default: 0 for 'outline' output, 8 for 'pseudoLayer' output, and -1 for 'layer' output. Truncation performed after initial filtering by --time arguments.
- -o,--out TEXT
- Direct output to this file. Use the 'outputFormat' for finer control over the underlying format for output formats that are not uniquely determined by file extension.
- --outputType validity|summary|outline|pseudoLayer|layer
- Specify output format; 'summary' reports overall statistics, 'outline' is a flat text report of paths and fields, 'pseudoLayer' is similar to the usda file format but with truncated array values and timeSamples for human readability, and 'layer' is true layer output, with the format controlled by the 'out' and 'outputFormat' arguments. Default: outline
- --outputFormat TEXT
- Supply this as the 'format' entry of SdfFileFormatArguments for 'layer' output to a file. Requires both 'layer' output and a specified output file.
- --sortBy path|field
- Group 'outline' output by either path or field. Ignored for other output types. Default: path
- --noValues
- Do not report field values.
