**Convert station inventory between FDSN StationXML format and
SeisComP inventory XML.**


Description
===========

fdsnws2inv is an inventory converter. It converts station meta data from
FDSN StationXML format to SeisComP XML (:term:`SCML`) and back. Write the output to the command line.

Examples
========

#. Convert an inventory file in FDSN StationXML format to SCML with formatted XML.
   Redirect the output to a new file:

   .. code-block:: sh

      fdsnxml2inv -f inventory_fdsn.xml > inventory_sc.xml

#. Convert an inventory file in SCML format to FDSN StationXML with formatted XML.
   Redirect the output to a new file:

   .. code-block:: sh

      fdsnxml2inv --to-staxml -f inventory_sc.xml > inventory_fdns.xml
