Signature

def info ( filename , output = None , ** kwargs )

Print the summary information on a FITS file.

This includes the name, type, length of header, data shape and type for each HDU.

filename : path-like or file-like: FITS file to obtain info from. If opened, mode must be one of the following: rb, rb+, or ab+ (i.e. the file must be readable).
output : file, bool, optional: A file-like object to write the output to. If False, does not output to a file and instead returns a list of tuples representing the HDU info. Writes to sys.stdout by default.
**kwargs: Any additional keyword arguments to be passed to astropy.io.fits.open. Note: This function sets ignore_missing_end=True by default.
