NAME
pttree - prints a quick overview of the contents of PyTables HDF5
files.
SYNOPSIS
pttree [ OPTIONS ] filename[:nodepath]
DESCRIPTION
pttree is designed to give a quick overview of the contents of a PyTa-
bles HDF5 file by printing a depth-indented list of nodes, similar to
the output of the Unix `tree` function. It can also display the size,
shape and compression states of individual nodes, as well as summary
information for the whole file. For a more verbose output (including
metadata), see `ptdump`.
