/*
 * Input File Description:
 * The input file can be an output of dcmdump.  One element (tag, VR, value)
 * must be written into one line separated by arbitrary spaces or tab characters.
 * A '#' begins a comment that ends at the line end.  Empty lines are allowed.
 * The individual parts of a line have the following syntax:
 * Tag:   (gggg,eeee)
 *        with gggg and eeee are 4 character hexadecimal values representing
 *        group and element tag.  Spaces and tabs can be anywhere in a tag
 *        specification.
 * VR:    Value Representation must be written as 2 characters as in Part 6
 *        of the DICOM standard.  No spaces or tabs are allowed between the
 *        two characters.  If the VR can determined from the tag, this part
 *        of a line is optional.
 * Value: There are several rules for writing values:
 *        1. US, SS, UL, SL, UV, SV, FD, FL, OD, OF, OL and OV are written as
 *           decimal strings that can be read by scanf().
 *        2. AT is written as '(gggg,eeee)' with additional spaces stripped
 *           off automatically and gggg and eeee being decimal strings that
 *           can be read by scanf().
 *        3. OB and OW values are written as byte or word hexadecimal values
 *           separated by '\' character.  Alternatively, OB or OW values can
 *           be read from a separate file by writing the filename prefixed
 *           by a '=' character (e.g. '=largepix.dat').  The contents of the
 *           file will be read as is.  By default, OW data is expected to be
 *           little endian ordered and will be swapped if necessary.  No
 *           checks will be made to ensure that the amount of data is
 *           reasonable in terms of other attributes such as Rows or Columns.
 *           In case of compressed pixel data, the line should start with
 *           '(7fe0,0010) OB (PixelSequence' in order to distinguish from
 *           uncompressed pixel data.
 *        4. UI is written as '=Name' in data dictionary or as unique
 *           identifier string (see 6.) , e.g. '[1.2.840.....]'
 *        5. Strings without () <> [] spaces, tabs and # can be written
 *           directly.
 *        6. Other strings must be surrounded by '[' and ']'.  No bracket
 *           structure is passed.  The value ends at the last ']' in the
 *           line.  Anything after the ']' is interpreted as comment.
 *        7. '(' and '<' are interpreted special and may not be used when
 *           writing an input file by hand as beginning characters of a
 *           string.  Multiple Value are separated by '\'.  The sequence of
 *           lines must not be ordered but they can.  References in DICOM
 *           Directories are not supported.  Semantic errors are not detected.
 *
 * Examples:
 *  (0008,0020) DA  [19921012]          #     8,  1  StudyDate
 *  (0008,0016) UI  =MRImageStorage     #    26,  1  SOPClassUID
 *  (0002,0012) UI  [1.2.276.0.7230010.100.1.1]
 *  (0020,0032) DS  [0.0\0.0]           #     8,  2  ImagePositionPatient
 *  (0028,0009) AT  (3004,000c)         #     4,  1  FrameIncrementPointer
