Code Block > bufr_ls -p totalLength,bufrHeaderCentre,bufrHeaderSubCentre ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr
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
All the non-12 UTC messages are listed as follows:
Code Block > bufr_ls -w typicalTime!="120000" ../data/bufr/syno_*.bufr
To list only the second message from a BUFR file:
Code Block > bufr_ls -w count=2 ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr
