SATPY_RETRIEVE_ALL_AUX_DATA(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands manual 💖 this one's called satpy_retrieve_all_aux_data — it's literally the girl whose whole job is downloading auxiliary data files that Satpy needs. she fetches, you vibe. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe check on how you call her:

usage: satpy_retrieve_all_aux_data [-h] [--data-dir DATA_DIR]

[--composite-sensors [COMPOSITE_SENSORS ...]]

[--readers [READERS ...]]

[--writers [WRITERS ...]]

that's it, that's the whole mood 💅

---

🎀 options 🎀

• -h, --help — shows you this help message and then dips. exit stage left. 🫶
• --data-dir DATA_DIR — overrides SATPY_DATA_DIR for where the downloaded files actually land. but bestie, listen — this does NOT change the directory Satpy will look at when it's searching for files outside of this script. so it's giving "different folder than the one Satpy peeks in" energy. don't get it twisted 😭
• --composite-sensors [COMPOSITE_SENSORS ...] — limits the loaded composites to the sensors you name. and if you pass it with no arguments at all, then literally no composite files get downloaded. zero. none. 💀
• --readers [READERS ...] — limits the searching to just these readers. if you specify it with no arguments, then no reader files will be downloaded. that's the deal 🍓
• --writers [WRITERS ...] — limits the searching to just these writers. and yeah, same rules apply: specify it with no arguments and no writer files get downloaded. periodt. 👑

---

ngl the pattern here is iconic — pass a flag with names and you get just those, pass it empty and you get nothing at all. main character energy, honestly. 🌈
