EXT_ORB_S1A(1)
π EXT_ORB_S1A π
okay bestie, listen up β this is the manual page for ext_orb_s1a, living in section 1 of the User Commands manual. it's a tiny little guy, but it's doing something very important, so let's give it the attention it deserves π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
ext_orb_s1a β Create a .LED file
like. that's it. that's the job. it makes a .LED file. iconic behaviour honestly π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
ext_orb_s1a name_of_prm name_of_orb_xml name_output
three arguments, no drama, no flags, no options, no extra nonsense. we love a low-maintenance icon β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so first thing you need to know: this program is part of GMTSAR. like, it's in the family. it belongs. π«Ά
here's the example, and I'm giving it to you exactly as it is because we do not mess with the facts in this house:
ext_orb_s1a.c S1A20140807.PRM S1A_OPER_AUX_POEORB_OPOD_20150615T155109_V20150525T225944_20150527T005944.EOF output
and the output of all that?
output.LED
yes bestie, the file output becomes output.LED. it's giving glow-up. it's giving transformation arc. π¦β¨
and then, because the original page says it twice and I am nothing if not a girl who respects the source material, here it is again β the usage:
Usage: ext_orb_s1a.c name_of_prm name_of_orb_xml name_output
and the example again:
Example: ext_orb_s1a.c S1A20140807.PRM S1A_OPER_AUX_POEORB_OPOD_20150615T155109_V20150525T225944_20150527T005944.EOF output
and the output again:
Output: output.LED
no cap, that's the whole thing. it takes your PRM, it takes your orbit XML, it takes your output name, and it hands you back a .LED file. main character energy from start to finish π
heads up babes: this page genuinely does not list any options, flags, environment variables, exit statuses, or files beyond what's right here. if you were waiting for a big options section β she's not coming. this is a one-trick pony and the trick is immaculate. π
and that's a wrap, my love π this was ext_orb_s1a from the EXT_ORB_S1A(1) manual page, dated May 2024, and the page itself is signed off as ext_orb_s1a β so yeah, source and version and date all accounted for, we keep receipts in this group chat π§Ύβ¨ go make your .LED file, you've got this fr fr ππ
