Utility program for fetching info from BUFR tables.
Execute without arguments for Usage, with option --help for some additional info. See also https://wiki.met.no/bufr.pm/start for examples of use.
--help
It is supposed that the code and flag tables are contained in a file with same name as corresponding B table except for having prefix C instead of B. The tables used can be chosen by the user with options --bufrtable and --tablepath. Default is the hard coded DEFAULT_TABLE in directory DEFAULT_TABLE_PATH, but this last one will be overriden if the environment variable BUFR_TABLES is set. You should consider edit the source code if you are not satisfied with the defaults chosen.
--bufrtable
--tablepath
--partial Expand D descriptors only once, ignoring replication --simple Like --partial, but displaying the resulting descriptors on one line --noexpand Don't expand D descriptors at all --bufrtable <name of BUFR B or D table> Set BUFR tables --tablepath <path to BUFR tables> Set BUFR table path --verbose n Display path and tables used if n > 0 --help Display Usage and explain the options used. Almost the same as consulting perldoc bufrresolve.pl
Usage 1): Resolves the given descriptor(s) fully into table B descriptors, with name, unit, scale, reference value and width (in bits) written on each line (except for --simple). --partial, --simple and --noexpand are mutually exclusive (full expansion is default).
Usage 2): Prints the contents of the requested code or flag table (named by the table B descriptor).
Usage 3): Displays the bits set when the data value for the requested flag table is <value>.
Options may be abbreviated, e.g. --h or -h for --help
--h
-h
n > 1 in --verbose n does not provide any more output than n=1, so demanding an argument to --verbose looks funny. But if not, sooner or later someone would type bufrresolve.pl 307080 --verbose 1 which by Perl would be interpreted as if the arguments were 307080 000001 --verbose, which probably is not what the user intended.
--verbose n
--verbose
bufrresolve.pl 307080 --verbose 1
307080 000001 --verbose
