WRITE

        [CLEAN\]WRITE Name File [Format] [/APPEND] [/RANGE Start  End  Kind]
    [/REPLACE] [/TRIM [Any]]

    WRITE  the  buffer  specified  by  Name  (UV, CGAINS, and BEAM, PRIMARY,
    DIRTY, CLEAN, RESIDUAL, SUPPORT, CCT, SKY) onto a File.  Default  exten-
    sions  are  .uvt  for  UV and CGAINS and .beam, .lmv, .lobe, .lmv-clean,
    .lmv-res, .pol, .cct, and lmv-sky respectively for  the  next  ones.  If
    Name does not refer to a known buffer, but to a SIC Image variable, this
    variable is written. The default extension is then .gdf.

    Format is an optional argument indicating the output file  data  format.
    It  can  take the value GILDAS (the default) or FITS. FITS format is al-
    lowed for UV data and images, but not for tables like the  Clean  Compo-
    nent, or self-calibration results.  Options /APPEND and /REPLACE are not
    useable for FITS format.

    For UV data, the flagged data are written by default. They may be  omit-
    ted using the /TRIM option.

    WRITE  *  File can be used to write all modified image-like buffers (not
    the UV tables) under a common File name. This typically  include  .beam,
    .lmv  and  .lmv-clean, but also the .lmv-sky file if the PRIMARY command
    has been used after deconvolution.


    Options /APPEND and /REPLACE are mutually exclusive, and in general used
    with the /RANGE option.
