OPTIONS¶
A summary of options is included below.
- -h
- Prints a help text.

- Title for the new file (if not specified, the source is
copied).
- --dont-copy-userattrs
- Do not copy the user attrs (default is to do it).
- --overwrite-nodes
- Overwrite destination nodes if they exist. Default is not
to overwrite them.
- --complevel=(0-9)
- Set a compression level (0 for no compression, which is the
default).
- --complib=lib
- Set the compression library to be used during the copy.
lib can be set to "zlib", "lzo",
"ucl" or "bzip2". Defaults to "zlib".
- --shuffle=(0|1)
- Activate or not the shuffling filter (default is active if

- --fletcher32=(0|1)
- Whether to activate or not the fletcher32 filter (not

- --keep-source-filters
- Use the original filters in source files. The default is
not doing that if any of --complevel, --complib, --shuffle or --fletcher32
option is specified.
- --upgrade-flavors
- When repacking PyTables 1.x files, the flavor of leaves
will be unset. With this, such a leaves will be serialized as objects with
the internal flavor ("numpy" for 2.x series).
