msselect(1)

💖 msselect(1) — from the General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about msselect(1). it's a whole little cutie and you're gonna love her. 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

msselect — creates a persistent selection of an MeasurementSet 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

msselect input output [deep?] [baseline]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. three-ish things and a couple optional little guys. slay. 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so like, msselect is a small tool that comes along with the casacore source. she's lowkey tiny but she does her one job impeccably. what does she do? she creates a persistent selection of an MeasurementSet. periodt. that's the assignment and she ate. 🍓

now let's talk about those optional arguments because they matter, bestie:

• deep? — this one tells you whether the output is a deep copy</> of the MeasurementSet selection. like, is she copying the whole thing down to the roots or not. iykyk. 🌱
• baseline — this is the selection string for antennae and baselines. it's the lil string that says which antennas and baselines you want in your selection. so specific, so iconic. ✨

ngl the names are doing a lot of heavy lifting here but that's just how it is. deep? has a literal question mark in it, so don't go renaming things, bestie — copy it exactly. 🫶
