DESCRIPTION
The resource file is usually processed by the application programs to set initial program defaults, but in some cases, shell scripts may need to parse for these resource values. Also, users may wish to query resource specifications before running a particular application. Here are some examples:
To display all global defaults, use a ".", a period:
> wxpres .
prog: wxpres (base)
name: wxpres (base)
default: /home/wxp/etc (env)
file_path: /home/wxp/etc:/usr/local/etc/wxp (file)
data_path: /data/nwstg/data:/home/wxp/data (file)
con_path: /data/nwstg/convert:/home/wxp/convert (file)
watch_path: /data/nwstg/data (file)
text_path: /data/nwstg/text (file)
model_path: /data/nwstg/model:/home/wxp/nwstg2/model (file)
sat_path: /data/goes/sat (file)
image_path: ~/image:/home/wxp/image (file)
map_file: wxp.map (file)
grid_path: ~/grid (file)
raw_path: ~/raw (file)
color_table: wxp.clr (file)
filename: . (command)
To display information for a particular resource, just list the desired resource. By default, the resource name, value and source are displayed. The source can be:
- base - hard coded into the base code
- file - set in the resource/defaults file
- env - set by an environment variable
- command - set on the command line
For example:
> wxpres data_path
data_path: /data/nwstg/data:/home/wxp/data (file)
For full resource information, set the message level to "out3":
> wxpres data_path -me=out3,-mess
Name: data_path
Value: /data/nwstg/data:/home/wxp/data
Source: file
Command line: dp
Env. variable: wxpdpath or wxpdata_path
Synopsis: -dp path Data path
To display information for a particular named resource, just specify the name resource:
> wxpres -name satplot
prog: wxpres (base)
name: satplot (command)
default: /home/wxp/etc (env)
file_path: /home/wxp/etc:/usr/local/etc/wxp (file)
data_path: /data/nwstg/data:/home/wxp/data (file)
con_path: /data/nwstg/convert:/home/wxp/convert (file)
text_path: /data/nwstg/text (file)
model_path: /data/nwstg/model:/home/wxp/nwstg2/model (file)
sat_path: /data/goes/sat (file)
image_path: ~/image:/home/wxp/image (file)
map_file: wxp.map (file)
