.It Fl itype Ar file type
51
Input file type (optional). If set to raw, this indicates that the input file does not have a header. While
52
this can be used to specify file types other than raw, this is rarely used for other purposes as the file type of all the existing supported types can be determined automatically from the file's header. If the input file is unheadered, files are assumed to be shorts (16bit).
