💖 postdownload 💖

okay bestie, so postdownload is a front-end to the usgs2sdf utility and it's genuinely one of those little tools that does a LOT of heavy lifting for you. she's the manual page, she's from the General Commands Manual, and she's here to make your elevation data dreams come true. no cap. 🏔️✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

postdownload file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, postdownload is a front-end to the usgs2sdf utility. you hand her one (1) argument: the name of the gzipped Digital Elevation Model (DEM) you downloaded from the US Geological Survey — like, for example, wilmington-w.gz. 🗂️

then she goes to work, and the way she goes to work is iconic:

  • she uncompresses the DEM file 🫶
  • she adds the necessary record delimiters ✨
  • she invokes usgs2sdf to produce a SPLAT Data File (SDF) 💅

like?? she's doing all of that for you?? main character energy fr fr.

USGS Digital Elevation Models may be downloaded from

http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/DEM/250/

and here's the move: invoke postdownload with the name of each DEM file downloaded to produce a database of SPLAT Data Files. yes bestie, every single one. collect them all. 🎀
