bufr_ls [options] bufr_file bufr_file ...

OPTIONS

...

Declaration of keys to print. For each key a string (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) 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), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be specified. Default type is string. In the value you can also use the forward-slash character '/' to specify an OR condition (i.e. a logical disjunction)

...

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) Note: only one -w clause is allowed.

...

Key/values to set. For each key a string (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be defined. By default the native type is set.

...

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

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 second message from a BUFR file:

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