NAME

mbmask, mbdumpesf - Output text version of beam edits from a binary edit save file.

 
VERSION

Version 5.0

 
SYNOPSIS

mbdumpesf -Ifile [-V -H]

 
DESCRIPTION

Swath bathymetry data is typically edited either with interactive
tools such as mbedit or automatic filters such as mbclean.
In MB-System, the beam flags are stored in binary "edit save files" 
(file suffix ".esf"). The program mbdumpesf reads esf files and
outputs each of the edit events as a text line to stdout.

MBDUMPESF OPTIONS


-H


This "help" flag causes the program to print out a description
of its operation and then exit immediately.
-I


file



"Edit save file" from which the edit events will be read.
-V


Normally, mbdumpesf outputs one line for each edit event in
the input esf file.  If the
-V flag is given, then mbdumpesf also outputs the
total number of each type of edit event at the end of the listing.


 
EXAMPLES

Suppose one has edited a swath file 20080422_222636.mb88, resulting
in an esf file named 20080422_222636.mb88.esf. To dump the edit events
as a text stream, use mbdumpesf:




        mbdumpesf -I 20080422_222636.mb88.esf




The output will look something like:




 



EDITS READ: i:0 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:21 action:1



EDITS READ: i:1 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:22 action:1



EDITS READ: i:2 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:23 action:1



EDITS READ: i:3 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:24 action:1



EDITS READ: i:4 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:25 action:1



EDITS READ: i:5 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:26 action:1



EDITS READ: i:6 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:27 action:1



EDITS READ: i:7 time: 947562291.799000 2008/04/22 22:26:36.799000 beam:28 action:1




 



Here the large time value is epoch seconds (seconds since 1/1/1970), and the
edit event action values are:




        action=1: flag manually


        action=2: unflag


        action=3: zero - make beam null


        action=4: flag by autofilter
