gadgetsnap - convert gadget files to snapshot format

gadgetsnap converts data from gadget(lNEMO) into standard snapshot(5NEMO) format. Currently limited to only output mass,pos,vel and all of the potentially 5 particles typed are stacked in the order of how GADGET has stored them.

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given:

in=: Input file (gadget format). No default, and currently only one file at the time can be processed.
out=: Output file (snapshot format). No default.
swap=: Force swaping bytes for other-endian machines [f]
reorder=t|f: Call reorder? This brings particles back into the order of their ID’s. [Default: f]
header=|4|8: Size of the header uses in unformatted fortran data. This used to be 4, but modern compilers (e.g. gfortran) may very well use 8. By default it is not specified, and the value determined to be the correct one during install (UNFIO_HDR_SIZE) is used. This keyword can thus be used to force another value.

Examples

The following example converts a standard sample dataset lcdm_gas.dat from the directory $GADGET_DIR/ICs to a NEMO snapshot file, and piped into tsf(1NEMO) for a quick look:

Header

The 256 byte GADGET header contains information on how the subsequent data is structured:

Npart(6) : number of particles in each of up to 5 particle types (6th one is unused)

Mass(6) : mass of a single particle in the particle types. If a particle type has varying masses, the entry will contain 0.0

Time/a: expansion factor of output (for cosmological) or time of output (for non-cosmological)

Redshift: z = 1/a-1 (only set for cosmological)

FlagSfr: flag for starformation (not used in the public release)

FLagFeedback: flag for feedback (not used in the public release)

Nall(6) : total number of particles of each type in the simulation. This field differs from Npart if the particle dump is distributed accross several files
