NAME

gmt2bin - Create bin-index files from gmt files

SYNOPSIS

gmt2bin listfile [ -Ppath ] [ -V ]

DESCRIPTION

gmt2bin reads a file with a list of leg ids, opens each gmt file, and creates a bin-index file for each leg called <legid>.bix. These are used by binlegs to update the system files read by gmtlegs. Normally, only the data archivist will need to be concerned with these operations.

listfile

This is a one column ASCII file with one leg id pr line.

OPTIONS

-P

Sets full path to directory with gmtfiles. [Default is current directory].

-V

Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].
