TITLE

almanac - Calculate today's almanac

SYNOPSIS

 almanac
 almanac tomorrow
 almanac -gmt
 almanac -help

OPTIONS

-gmt

This option causes the time to be output in GMT.

-help

This option displays this documentation, then exits.

-location name

This option executes the named macro before generating the almanac. As the name implies, the macro is assumed to set the location, but in reality it can do anything.

DETAILS

This Perl script uses the Astro::App::Satpass2 object to generate an almanac. It assumes the presence of an initialization file that sets the position. The date of the almanac can be passed as an argument; otherwise the current date is used.
