...
List content of BUFR files printing values of some header keys. Only scalar keys can be printed. It does not fail when a key is not found.
USAGE
bufr_ls [options] bufr_file bufr_file ...
OPTIONS
...
Declaration of keys to print. For each key a string (key:s) or , a double (key:d) or a long an integer (key:li) type can be requested. Default type is string.
...
C style format for floating-point values.
...
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. Order by example: "step asc, centre desc" (step ascending and centre descending) In the value you can also use the forward-slash character '/' to specify an OR condition (i.e. a logical disjunction) Note: only one -w clause is allowed.
...
Key/values to set. For each key a string (key:s) or , a double (key:d) or a long an integer (key:li) type can be defined. By default the native type is set.
...
bufr_ls examples
Without options a default list of keys is printed. The default list 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.
Code Block > bufr_ls ../data/bufr/syno_*.bufr
To list only a specific set of keys use the -p option.

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

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:
All the non-SYNOP messages are listed as follows:Code Block > bufr_ls -w count=2 ../data/bufr/syno_multi.bufr
