Adding or removing a local section from a BUFR message is very easy with ecCodes by setting the key "section2Present". The following bufr_set example will add a local section:
| Code Block |

bufr_set -s section2Present=1 in.bufr out.bufr |
The following example will remove a local section:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
bufr_set -s section2Present=0 in.bufr out.bufr |
It is important to mention that the local section does not have a prescribed structure and its structure depends on the originating centre. Moreover the values in the newly added local section will be all zeros and correct values must be set after creating the section.
