Synopsis
tablefromfits(tablename, fitsfile, whichhdu, storage, convention, readonly, lockoptions, ack, tableserver)
Description
Create a table from binary FITS format. This generates an AIPS table
from the binary FITS table in the given HDU (header unit) of the
FITS file. Note that other FITS formats (
e.g.
Image FITS and UVFITS) are read by other means.
It is possible to specify the storage manager to use for the table:
standard is the default storage manager.
incremental is efficient for slowly varying data.
