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

   Code Block
   > grib_dump -OH ../data/reduced_gaussian_model_level.grib1




2. To add key aliases and type information.

   Code Block
   > grib_dump -OtaH ../data/reduced_gaussian_model_level.grib1




3. To obtain all the key names (computed keys included) available in a grib file.

   Code Block
   > grib_dump -D ../data/regular_latlon_surface.grib1

   To obtain a C code example from a grib file.
