PARAMETERS

Command Line	Resource	Default	Description
-h	help	No	Lists basic help information.
-df=filename	default	wxp.cfg	Sets the name of the resource file.
-na=name	name	the program name	Specifies the name used in resource file parsing.
-me=level	message	out2	Specifies level of messages to be displayed
-cu=[hour]	current	none	This specifies to use current data files.
-ho=hour	hour	none	Specifies the exact hour that a data file is valid for.
-mo=model	model	None	Sets the input forecast model
-ft=time	time	init	Sets forecast time
-le=level	level	none	Sets the vertical level
-va=variable	variable	none	Sets the parameter/variable to be displayed
-ou=output	output	program specific	Specifies type of output. file - filename (default) hdrfile -- ingest header filename date -- date based on filename (hhZ dd mmm yyyy) valid -- valid time label based on filename and forecast hour (hhZ dd mmm yyyy) label -- label based on model, forecast time and filename year -- the year based on filename (yyyy) mon -- the month based on filename (mm) month -- the month based on filename (mmm as in DEC) day -- the day based on filename (dd) hour -- the hour based on filename (hh) seq -- the sequence number (yyyymmddhhMM) based on filename. del -- removes the file rm -- removes the file exist -- tests for file existence size -- size of file next -- the next file in the sequence prev -- the previous file in the sequence label -- a date/time label appropriate for use with plots. If the model and forecast time are specified, it will incorporate this into the label. time -- the Unix time of the file (seconds since 1/1/1970) diff -- the number of hours between file time and current. sdiff -- the number of seconds between file time and current. mdiff -- the number of minutes between file time and current. hdiff -- the number of hours between file time and current. ddiff -- the number of days between file time and current.
filename (positional)	filename	none	Specify input filename

DESCRIPTION

This program displays and lists WXP file names.

EXAMPLES

This prints file name plus path of the current converted surface file.

   wxpfile -cu -if=sfc_cvt
   /home/wxp/convert/17100197.cvt

This prints a date string for the current converted surface file.

   wxpfile -cu -if=sfc_cvt -ou=date
   17Z  1 OCT 1997

This determines whether the current converted surface file exists.

   wxpfile -cu -if=sfc_cvt -ou=exist
   exist

This prints the converted surface file name which corresponds to the sequence number 1991120617.

   wxpfile -if=sfc_cvt #1997100117
   /home/wxp/convert/17100197.cvt

This prints the number of hours between this file and current time.

   wxpfile -if=sfc_cvt 12100197.cvt -ou=diff
   5

This prints the current raw upper air file.

   wxpfile -cu -if=upa_dat
   /home/wxp/data/12100197.upa

This prints the next raw upper air file.

   wxpfile -cu -if=upa_dat -ou=next
   /home/wxp/data/00100297.upa

With the use of the num_hour resource, several files can be checked.

   wxpfile -cu -nh=-5 -if=rad_cvt -ou=exist -me=out2
   /home/wxp/convert/13100197.sdc: exist
   /home/wxp/convert/14100197.sdc: not found
   /home/wxp/convert/15100197.sdc: exist
   /home/wxp/convert/16100197.sdc: exist
   /home/wxp/convert/17100197.sdc: exist

This prints the current NGM GRIB file.

   wxpfile -cu -if=grib_ngm -na=grbcalc
   /home/wxp/hds/12100197.gbn

This prints a date/time label for the current surface converted file.

   wxpfile -cu -if=sfc_cvt -ou=label
   Analysis for 17Z  1 OCT 97

This prints a date/time label for the MRF 7 day grid file.

   wxpfile -cu -if=grib_eta -mo=eta -ft=h24 -ou=label
   24 hour ETA valid 12Z FRI  3 OCT 97
