minchistory
display the history of processing steps applied to a MINC file
minchistory <file.mnc>
DESCRIPTION
minchistory is a Perl script that displays the processing history stored in a MINC file’s :history global attribute. Each time a MINC tool processes a file, it appends a timestamped record of the command that was executed to the :history attribute. This provides a complete audit trail of all transformations and processing steps applied to the data.
The history is printed to standard output, with each processing step on a separate line showing the date, time, and full command line used.
This tool is useful for understanding the provenance of a MINC file, debugging processing pipelines, and documenting the exact sequence of operations applied to a dataset.
OPTIONS
minchistory does not accept option flags. The single argument is the MINC file to query.
<file.mnc>- The MINC file whose processing history will be displayed.
EXAMPLES
Display the processing history of a MINC file:
minchistory processed_brain.mnc
Save the history to a text file:
minchistory processed_brain.mnc > processing_log.txt
