bufr_dump examples

1. To dump BUFR messages into a flat JSON format.

   Code Block
   > bufr_dump -jf ../data/bufr/aaen_55.bufr




2. To dump BUFR messages into a structured JSON format. Note: This is the default if you omit the -j option

   Code Block
   > bufr_dump -js ../data/bufr/aaen_55.bufr




3. To dump a Fortran program with instructions to create (encode) the input message.

   Code Block
   > bufr_dump -Efortran ../data/bufr/aaen_55.bufr > encode.aaen_55.f90

   Now compile and run 'encode.aaen_55.f90'. This will create a new BUFR file called 'outfile.bufr'. Check this is the the same as the input.

   Code Block
   > bufr_compare ../data/bufr/aaen_55.bufr outfile.bufr




4. To dump a Python program with instructions to decode the input message.

   Code Block
   > bufr_dump -Dpython ../data/bufr/aaen_55.bufr > decode.aaen_55.py

   Examine the generated Python script 'decode.aaen_55.py'. You will see how to access each of the BUFR keys




5. To dump in a WMO documentation style with hexadecimal octet values (-H).

   Code Block
   > bufr_dump -OH ../data/bufr/syno_1.bufr




6. To add key type information (-t).

   Code Block
   > bufr_dump -OtH ../data/bufr/syno_1.bufr
