isisinfo Documentation

isisinfo - Report detailed information about an ISIS file
isisinfo will report detailed information about an ISIS file.  It
reports the current running version of ISIS, file record, label and
object information.

One reason this program lives is to reveal information on detached
label files and where object data comes from.  Currently, ISIS has
about 7 different possibilities on where external (detached) object
files can come from.  The algorithm that resolves (finds) external
data object files loops until one is found with the right name.  ISIS
is quite flexible (read "practical") in support for references to
these external data files.  At the same time, it is quite difficult
even from the main application programming level to tell exactly which
file is being used to read object data from.  isisinfo was written to
address this ambiguity and ease the users mind.
