Description

Splits each header line at its first colon. Values may contain colons (e.g., in command_history entries), they are preserved. Lines without a colon are ignored, as the MRtrix reference implementation does. Keys that occur more than once are collected into a vector.

Usage

parse.mrtrix.header(lines, filepath = "")

Arguments

lines	character vector, the header lines, including the first line and the terminating 'END' line.
filepath	character string, the path of the file, used in error messages only.

Value

named list, the parsed header.
