Tool: get_ldp_filename
Description
This tool determines the proper filename for the LDP in the
observation directory for a given LDP. This can happen in one of several
ways. First, for NFI LDPS we use the ID from the tertiary header
embedded in the LDP header. Next, for BAT LDPs and LDPs which have the
ID set to 0xffffffff, we use the time from the tertiary header in
conjunction with a timeline. BAT and the NFIs use different timelines.
If the tertiary header time is set to an invalid value, then we use the
secondary header from page 2 of the LDP. Finally, for LDPs which are old
enough that we are confdent that no more packets will arive, we use the
secondary header time from any available packet.

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.
