bufr_ls examples

1. Without options a default list of keys is printed. The default list can be different depending on the type of BUFR message.

   Code Block
   > bufr_ls ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr

   The result is: ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr masterTablesVersionNumber localTablesVersionNumber rdbType rdbSubtype rdbtimeYear rdbtimeMonth typicalDate typicalTime numberOfSubsets localLatitude localLongitude 13 1 1 1 2009 1 20090124 120000 1 70.93 -8.67 13 1 1 1 2009 1 20090124 120000 1 77 15.5 13 1 1 1 2009 1 20090124 120000 1 78.92 11.93 3 of 3 messages in ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr 3 of 3 total messages in 1 files

   Code Block




2. It is allowed to use wildcards in filenames.

   Code Block
   > bufr_ls ../data/bufr/syno_*.bufr




3. To list only a specific set of keys use the -p option.

   Code Block
   > bufr_ls -p totalLength,bufrHeaderCentre,bufrHeaderSubCentre ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr




4. To list only a subset of messages use the -w (where option). Only the 12 UTC messages are listed with the following line.

   Code Block
   > bufr_ls -w typicalTime="120000" ../data/bufr/syno_*.bufr




5. All the non-12 UTC messages are listed as follows:

   Code Block
   > bufr_ls -w typicalTime!="120000" ../data/bufr/syno_*.bufr




6. To list only the scond message from a BUFR file:

   Code Block
   > bufr_ls -w count=2 ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr
