Without options a default list of keys is printed. The default list is different depending on the type of grib message.
>>Code Block > grib_ls ../data/reduced*.grib1 ../data/regular*.grib1 ../data/reduced*.grib2
To print offset and count number in file use the keys offset and count Also the total count in a set of files is available as countTotal
>>Code Block > grib_ls -p offset,count,countTotal ../data/reduced*.grib1
To list only a subset of messages use the -w (where option). Only the pressure levels are listed with the following line.
>>Code Block > grib_ls -w levelType=pl ../tigge_pf_ecmwf.grib2
All the grib messages not on pressure levels are listed as follows:
>>Code Block > grib_ls -w levelType!=pl ../tigge_pf_ecmwf.grib2
To get the closest grid point to a latitude/longitude.
