🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, here's the tea: metar_copy copies the content of METAR files, and while it's at it, it prints the values of some keys. That's the whole vibe. Copy, peek, slay. 💅

🌸 USAGE 🌸

metar_copy [options] file file ... output_file

note the shape of it: any number of input files, and the very last thing you hand it is the output_file. main character gets the final word. 👑

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -f — Force. Force the execution not to fail on error. Bold. Fearless. Lowkey unhinged but we respect it. 🔥
• -p key[:{s|d|i}],key[:{s|d|i}],... — Declaration of keys to print. For each key you can request a string (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type. Default type is string.
• -P key[:{s|d|i}],key[:{s|d|i}],... — Same as -p, except it adds the declared keys to the default list instead of replacing the vibe. 🫶
• -w key[:{s|d|i}]=value,key[:{s|d|i}]=value,... — Where clause. Only messages matching the key/value constraints are copied to the output_grib_file. For each key a string (key:s), a double (key:d) or an integer (key:i) type can be defined. Default type is string.
• -V — Print version. ✨
• -W width — Minimum width of each column in output. Default is 10. 📏
• -g — Copy GTS header. 🎀
• -7 — Does not fail when the message has wrong length. It's giving forgiveness. 🙈
• -v — Verbose. Tell me everything, I'm listening. 👂
