Synopsis
Write a dataset to an output file.
Syntax
write_dataset(ds, filename, clobber=False, history=True)
Description
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| ds | A CrateDataset object |
| filename | The output file name. To change the format from FITS add a kernel specifier as described in 'ahelp dmopt' and 'ahelp dmascii'. |
| clobber | Set to True if the output file already exists and you wish to over-write it, since the default behavior is to raise an IOError in this case. |
| history | Should the HISTORY and COMMENT records be written out? The default is True. |
The write_dataset is used to write out a CrateDataset, and follows ahelp write_file.
Changes in CIAO 4.13
