-s key[:{s|d|i}]=value,key[:{s|d|i}]=value,...
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.
-P key[:{s|d|i}],key[:{s|d|i}],...
As -p adding the declared keys to the default list.
-w key[:{s|d|i}]=value,key[:{s|d|i}]=value,...
Where clause. Only BUFR messages matching the key/value constraints are copied to the output_bufr_file. For each key a string (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be defined. Default type is string. Note: only one -w clause is allowed.

To copy only the non-SYNOP messages from a file
Code Block > bufr_copy -w dataCategory!=0 in.bufr out.bufr
Use the square brackets to insert the value of a key in the name of the output file.
Code Block > bufr_copy in.bufr 'out_[dataCategory].bufr'
