NAME
       dcmgpdir - Create a general purpose DICOMDIR

SYNOPSIS
       dcmgpdir [options] [dcmfile-in...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  dcmgpdir  utility  creates	a  DICOMDIR  file  from	 the specified
       referenced DICOM files according to the DICOM  Part  11	Media  Storage
       Application Profiles.

       Currently, the following profiles are supported:

       · General Purpose CD-R Interchange (STD-GEN-CD)
       · General Purpose Interchange on DVD-RAM Media (STD-GEN-DVD-RAM)
       dcmmkdir	 is an extended version of this tool which also supports other
       Media Storage Application Profiles than the general purpose  one	 (e.g.
       both cardio profiles requiring the use of icon images).

NOTES
       All  files  specified  on the command line (or discovered by recursivly
       examining the contents of directories with the  +r  option)  are	 first
       evaluated  for  their compatibility with the General Purpose CD-R Image
       Interchange Profile (Supplement 19).  Only  appropriate	files  encoded
       using  the  Explicit VR Little Endian Uncompressed Transfer Syntax will
       be accepted. Files having invalid filenames will be rejected (the rules
       can  be	relaxed	 via the +m option). Files missing required attributes
       will be rejected (the +I option can relax this behaviour).
       A DICOMDIR file will only be  constructed  if  all  files  have	passed
       initial tests.
       The dcmgpdir utility also allows to append new entries to and to update
       existing entries in a DICOMDIR file. Using option +A  new  entries  are
       only  appended to the DICOMDIR, i.e. existing records like the ones for
       PATIENT information are not updated.  Using  option  +U	also  existing
       records	 are  updated  according  to  the  information	found  in  the
       referenced DICOM files. Please note that this update process  might  be
       slower  than  just  appending  new entries. However, it makes sure that
       additional information that is required for  the	 selected  application
       profile is also added to existing records.
LOGGING
       The  level  of  logging	output	of  the various command line tools and
       underlying libraries can be specified by the  user.  By	default,  only
       errors  and  warnings  are  written to the standard error stream. Using
       option --verbose also informational messages  like  processing  details
       are  reported.  Option  --debug	can be used to get more details on the
       internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes.	Other  logging	levels
       can  be	selected  using option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal
       errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the  application
       will  usually  terminate.  For  more  details  on the different logging
       levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.
       In case the logging output should be written to file  (optionally  with
       logfile	rotation),  to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option
       --log-config can be used.  This	configuration  file  also  allows  for
       directing  only	certain messages to a particular output stream and for
       filtering certain messages based on the	module	or  application	 where
       they  are  generated.  An  example  configuration  file	is provided in
       <etcdir>/logger.cfg).
COMMAND LINE
       All command line tools  use  the	 following  notation  for  parameters:
       square  brackets	 enclose  optional  values  (0-1), three trailing dots
       indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of  both
       means 0 to n values.
       Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
       or '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command  line
       options	are  arbitrary	(i.e.  they  can appear anywhere). However, if
       options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is  used.  This
       behaviour  conforms  to	the  standard  evaluation rules of common Unix
       shells.
       In addition, one or more command files can be specified	using  an  '@'
       sign  as	 a  prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
       argument is replaced by the content  of	the  corresponding  text  file
       (multiple  whitespaces  are  treated  as a single separator unless they
       appear between two quotation marks) prior to  any  further  evaluation.
       Please  note  that  a command file cannot contain another command file.
       This  simple  but  effective  approach  allows  to   summarize	common
       combinations  of	 options/parameters  and  avoids longish and confusing
       command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).
ENVIRONMENT
       The dcmgpdir utility will  attempt  to  load  DICOM  data  dictionaries
       specified  in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
       the  DCMDICTPATH	 environment   variable	  is   not   set,   the	  file
       <datadir>/dicom.dic  will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into
       the application (default for Windows).
       The  default  behaviour	should	be  preferred  and   the   DCMDICTPATH
       environment  variable  only used when alternative data dictionaries are
       required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same  format  as
       the  Unix  shell PATH variable in that a colon (':') separates entries.
       On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. The  data
       dictionary  code	 will  attempt	to  load  each	file  specified in the
       DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data  dictionary
       can be loaded.
