Command Line	Resource	Default	Description
-h	help	No	Lists basic help information.
-df=filename	default	.wxpdef	Sets the name of the resource file.
-na=name	name	climat	Specifies the name used in resource file parsing.
-ba	batch	No	Run program in batch mode
-me=level	message	out2	Specifies level of messages to be displayed file information - mess decoded output -out3
-fp=filepath	file_path	current directory	Specifies location of database files.
-dp=datapath	data_path	current directory	Specifies the location (path) of the input raw data files. This is the location where the ingest program has saved the data files. This may be modified in the name convention file.
-nc=name_conv	name_conv	name_conv	The name convention file specifies how files are named in WXP. This sets which name convention file to use.
-if=in_file	in_file	cli_dat	Specifies the input file name tag. The default is cli_dat, but it can be modified to any value in the filename convention file. A full name convention can be specified as well.
-of=out_file	out_file	None	Specifies the output file name tag. If this is not specified, the output is to standard output. The tag is used to create the output file name.
-ou=output	output	text,g111	The output resource specifies the output of the program. text - text output raw - output ready for use in raw file (use out_file to save to file) data - raw data gall - decode all groups g111 - decode only group 1 g222 - decode only group 2 g333 - decode only group 3 g444 - decode only group 4
-cu=[hour\|la]	current	None	This specifies to use current data files. The current filename is based on the name convention. An optional hour can be specified for older data. If la is specified, the program will search back to find the most recent available file.
-ho=hour	hour	None	This resource specifies the exact hour that a data file is valid for. This locks in the start hour for a multi-file sequence.
