Tool: merge_packets
Description
This is a very simple program for merging UVOT segmented
packets. It is designed to handle an input stream containing only packets
with APID=768, from which it will produce a merged stream of packets
with APID=769. This will be replaced with a more sophisticated tool when
I have an opportunity to work with more complicated test data from the
UVOT team.
Option Summary
Option | Argument Type | Default Value |
---|
-infile |
String |
- |
-outfile |
String |
- |
Only the initial unique characters of each option are
significant. Each option must be followed by an argument
of the given type. Boolean "true" and "false" are indicated
with "y" and "n" respectively. A boolean option without a
value is assumed to be "true".
For filename arguments, "-" means either stdin or stdout
as appropriate.
Each option is described in detail below.
Parameters
- infile String (default = -)
- The input file containing segmented packets with APID=768.
- outfile String (default = -)
- The output file which will contain the merged packets with
APID=769.
