IFT files

IFT files (*.ift) are simple text format files resembling Interfile headers, which are used by some programs in TPC to provide parameters to programs or to (optionally) store additional results from analysis programs for further processing. IFT files are also used in automatic tests of TPC software.

Basically, the files contain key names and their values in this format:

key1 := value1
key2 := value2
...

In addition to := (used in Interfile headers), also : and = are supported between key and its value.

Programs for working with IFT files include:

• iftadd
• iftdel
• iftedit
• iftlist
• iftisval
• iftmatch
• iftren
• iftvalc

IFT files can be created from a few other data formats using:

• csv2ift
• parformat
• taclist

See also:

• ANC format
• DFT format
• CRV format
• FIT TAC file format
