fits2caom2 help is inaccurate. #8

Closed ijiraq closed 6 years ago

ijiraq commented 7 years ago

The -help content suggest that -test does not persist to the database but really -test turns off writing to a file.

Are there cases where fits2caom2 writes to a database anymore?

option A: remove -test but that might break code that expects -test

option B: Change the behaviour so -test still writes the .xml (also might break current usgage)

option C: Change the help line to indicate that no file will be write to -out, impacts likely minimal.

There is no useful test mode now that fits2caom2 only writes xml files. Will remove it.

WNF (will not fix) since this software is deprecated and only bugs effecting operations are addressed.
