CodesUI can be started up with the following command:
codes_ui file1 file2 ...
where the specified files can be either GRIB or BUFR files (wildcard characters are allowed in the file names). If no input files are specified CodesUI will not start up. Please note that codesUI can only work in either GRIB or BUFR mode. The actual mode is determined by the type of the first successfully read message from the input files.
We can start CodesUI straight in GRIB mode like this:
codes_ui -g [grib_file_1 grib_file_2 ...]
or in BUFR mode like this:
codes_ui -b [bufr_file_1 bufr_file_2 ...]
In these modes it is not necessary to specify any input files: CodesUI will start up loading the last viewed file of the given type.
