...
As -p adding the declared keys to the default list.
...
Where clause. Messages are processed only if they match all the key/value constraints. A valid constraint is of type key=value or key!=value. For each key a string (key:s) or , a double (key:d) or a long an integer (key:li) type can be specified. Default type is string.
...
Order by. The output will be ordered according to the order by directive.

bufr_ls examples
Without options a default list of keys is printed. The default list is can be different depending on the type of bufr BUFR message.
The result is:Code Block > bufr_ls ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr

It is allowed to use wildcards in filenames.

To list only a specific set of keys use the -p option. 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 > gribbufr_ls -p offsettotalLength,countbufrHeaderCentre,countTotalbufrHeaderSubCentre ../data/reduced*.grib1bufr/syno_multi.bufr
To list only a subset of messages use the -w (where option). Only the pressure levels 12 UTC messages are listed with the following line.
Code Block > gribbufr_ls -w levelTypetypicalTime=pl"120000" ../tigge_pf_ecmwf.grib2 data/bufr/syno_*.bufr
All the grib messages not on pressure levels non-12 UTC messages are listed as follows:
Code Block > grib bufr_ls -w levelTypetypicalTime!=pl"120000" ../data/bufr/tiggesyno_pf_ecmwf.grib2 *.bufr
To get the closest grid point to a latitude/longitude. list only the second message from a BUFR file:
Code Block > grib bufr_ls -l 51.46,-1.33,1 -p paramId,namew count=2 ../data/bufr/reducedsyno_gaussian_surfacemulti.grib2bufr
