+# NeXus file reader and debugger
+
 This utility outputs a debug log for a given NeXus file by annotating the data and
 metadata entries with the schema definitions from the respective NeXus base classes
 and application definitions to which the file refers to.

-    -f, --nexus-file : Name of nexus output file (.nxs) to enquiry.
-    -d, --documentation : Definition path in nexus output (.nxs) file. Returns debug

-                          Example: /entry/data/delays

 _The environmental variable called "NEXUS_DEF_PATH" can be set to
 a directory, which contains the NeXus definitions as XML files. If this environmental
 variable is not defined, the module will use the definitions in its bundle._

+## A note to Windows users
+If you run `read_nexus` from `git bash`, you need to set the environmental variable
+`MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` to avoid the [path translation in Windows Git MSys](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7250130/how-to-stop-mingw-and-msys-from-mangling-path-names-given-at-the-command-line#34386471).
+The easiest way is to prefix the `read_nexus` call with `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1`:
+
+```
+MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 read_nexus -c /NXarpes/ENTRY/INSTRUMENT/analyser
+```
