optional arguments:
   -h, --help            show this help message and exit
   -v, --verbose         provide more information during execution
   -u, --upload-only     upload files to iRods only: do not process file metadata
   --version             show program's version number and exit
   --keyfile [metadata-keyfile]
                         a file specifying which metadata keys which should be processed

uploader --upload-only myImages/someImage.fits
uploader --keyfile just-these-keys.txt astrofiles

Running the Checker Script

Checker Script Options:

usage: checker [-h] [-a {check,info}] [-v] [--version] images_path

Perform verification actions on a FITS file or a directory of FITS files OR
Show HDU info for the specified FITS file or directory of FITS files

positional arguments:
  images_path           path to a FITS file or a directory of FITS files to be processed

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a {check,info}, --action {check,info}
                        action to perform on FITS file(s): validate or show HDU info
  --version             show program's version number and exit

Examples:
